Mike Marlowe 2 Report post Posted September 3, 2016 Was curious, how often does everyone here actually watch the show live? Whether directly on TV or a live stream of the broadcast, doesn't need to be new content, as long as it is being broadcast that moment. Me personally, I try to tune in for every new episode but I have a very strict work schedule, and I've actually been working 11am every Saturday for the last 14 months or so.

Aurora Wolf 17 Report post Posted September 3, 2016 I used to be able to catch the live stream on my laptop, but now that I'm back in college, that doesn't seem possible anymore. Now I do what my fiancée does by waiting for the upload to YouTube. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lucario2012 9 Report post Posted September 3, 2016 If I am awake at the time the episode airs (which I normally am), then I like to catch it on a stream. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baltoist 323 Report post Posted September 3, 2016 I watch it on live TV unless I'm busy. Then I record it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canyon Light 141 Report post Posted September 3, 2016 To support the show, I always watch new episodes live on TV if I don't miss it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Memory Lane 0 Report post Posted September 3, 2016 Quite rarely, actually. I'd enjoy a live experience, but it's more convenient to watch a replay somewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WonkyStallion 339 Report post Posted September 3, 2016 I managed to watch the first half of season 6 live, but then I moved. I don't really trust livestreams when it comes to new episodes. I've had experiences where the stream lags and I miss something important. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Havocbyte 1,457 Report post Posted September 3, 2016 I used to watch new episodes of Season 6 when they premiered on Discovery Family. But since I don't have cable TV anymore, I just wait for the episodes to show up on Google Drive the day after they air. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Itcheeee 31 Report post Posted September 3, 2016 Sadly I can really not afford the cable package -just- to get Discovery Family. So instead I have to watch it uploaded somewhere. I really hate to do that, but I can't justify the cost to watch one thing, one day a week for a few weeks in a row, then a break, then back again and finally gone for half a year. Switching cable packages doesn't work like that :/ I support the show by buying a lot of merchandise though, so it evens out really. I don't full-on collect AJ anymore, but I still buy non-mane 6 stuff all the time xD I'd like to buy the full season DVD sets eventually as well, it won't be on Netflix forever. This supports the show too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dublyn Tea 104 Report post Posted September 3, 2016 Never, more or less by choice. I'm unavailable to watch TV on Saturday mornings. If it aired Sunday-Thursday mornings I'd watch it live. But I don't see that happening as it's always been on Saturdays. I usually watch via YouTube Saturday night or Sunday when it's added to On Demand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pinkiepie617 6 Report post Posted September 3, 2016 I have Discovery Family on my TV and I can also record things on my TV, so I recorded every single episode of pony that there is and I can watch them whenever I want. This morning I actually watched a livestream of the new episode on my computer, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Doctor 39 Report post Posted September 3, 2016 I don't think anyone watches this show live. Very few animated programs are broadcast live. It's a terrible strain on the animators' wrists. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChibiDashie 122 Report post Posted September 3, 2016 I don't watch it live because when the show is on, I'm still sleeping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Askre 24 Report post Posted September 3, 2016 I usually prefer to wait until it's available without streaming, but I do sometimes catch a stream if I happen to be near the computer when the episode airs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZeBronyCaptain 35 Report post Posted September 3, 2016 I've only every seen it aired live once.... at a convention. Otherwise I'm usually working when they air, so I just watch it later. Sometimes as late as Monday. Which really pushes back projects... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ABronyAccount 4,067 Report post Posted September 3, 2016 Usually working Saturdays, but I DVR the new episodes. If I'm off and the episode is one I especially like, I sometimes watch a rerun on TV in the morning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Marlowe 2 Report post Posted September 4, 2016 Panning out pretty much how I expected, happy to know I'm not alone in not being able to see it live(though I figured that would be the case). I wish Hasbro had some kind of official live stream of their episodes, I know it's not that simple. I don't have Discovery Family as an option so even when I have the time I'm watching a stream as opposed to the televised broadcast directly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
