The IP does not need to be dedicated.

Yes, it does for us. I have both and only the dedicated IP is not detected and blocked.
I have a dedicated IP for home, but my VPN (ExpressVPN) does not, and I am still able to access Netflix UK without a problem. Perhaps the ExpressVPN endpoint is dedicated?

with the picard going to die speculation
making ppl go off in diff tangents--we are like in the 6th generation, or branches of 'theory' since the trailer!
on FB sci fi group, ppl are expanding the 'hes going to die' added to the Borg components of the story to get 'Picard is going to be the Borg King for a new Borg resurgence'
yeah, ppl get a grip. maybe you're right but get a grip and wait

it is just non stop
someone did the math and calculated that the Romulan 'borg prison' has its being referred to, with the signs that say 'this facility has not had an assimilation in...days' goes back to 4 years before the events of ST NEMESIS.
meaning the Romulans have been messing around with Borg tech for a long, long while
personally, i just see the signs has a bit of quirky humor parroting the real world work place signs that say things like 'this factory has not had an accident in xxx days, safety first'
so does that number even mean anything?

There are going to be a lot of Memberberry trees in this show.
. In case you don't know what that means, it's when a show relies on nostalgia by putting things in the show and asking 'member this?

I am not really sure, but I suspect the streaming providers might spend more resources on blocking their US content than the other regions.
Even if my dedicated IP crashes for a second, I lose access to the US content. The streaming companies now have tech that search for mulitiple use IPs and block them as suspected "proxies", this is true for NF, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video and CBS all access. I suspect this will be the same for Disney + too, ( which I pre-ordered), and so we pay the extra for the dedicated IP.
I think Picard will most likely not be an issue however and will probably stream on NF UK for free like STD does.

No it won't, it will be on Prime, not on Netflix.

Ah, I did not know that, good thing we have Prime too!No it won't, it will be on Prime, not on Netflix.

There is talk of Picard being a paid thing on Prime US.
It may not be included in US Prime, but I can easily log in to UK Prime to see it free.

only 'on prime' via a amazon pass to cbs access
amz prime has about 100 add on channels--which also have their own service (at least they do on roku)--that you can buy access to through prime for a price that is usually lower then if you just got that service alone
with cbs deal, if you go through prime, you can get no commercials or limited for a price slightly less then through cbs. one of the options is also not available through CBS
its a tact not unlike the old ;'bundling' that cable and phone companies used to do, but this scheme is 'ala carte' so you just get want you want
not all inclusive--add cbs to the list
Here's a list of some of the better Amazon Channels:
- HBO ($14.99 per month)
- Showtime ($8.99 per month)
- Cinemax ($9.99 per month)
- Starz ($8.99 per month)
- Mubi ($5.99 per month)
- Sundance Now ($6.99 per month)
- Sports Illustrated TV ($4.99 per month)
- Comic Con HQ ($4.99 per month)
- History Vault ($4.99 per month)
- Comedy Central Stand-Up ($3.99 per month)
- PBS Masterpiece ($5.99 per month)
- IndiePix Unlimited ($5.99 per month)
- DocComTV ($2.99 per month)
- Smithsonian Earth ($3.99 per month)
- Reelz ($3.99 per month)
- Daily Burn ($14.99 per month)

despite expected derision and criticism, i am just going to throw this out there. and old syfy forums fashioned "guess on what will happen" type of thing
probably I will be wrong, but, for those unseen and unreal 'atta boys', i want to get first claim just in case!
ok
- 1 group of romulans we see in trailer- the non military ones, who accompany Picard, represent a faction who are looking for a new home after the destruction of romulus
they know picard's history with them and with his record in starfleet
so, they know of Mintaka III and that there is a emerging civ there with people they can live with and in all likelihood, intermarry with
they also know that Picard introduced the Mintakans to the knowledge of advanced tech and civilizations-despite not wanting to. so they know of his relationship and how they revere him "never forget us Picard" as he left
so these romulans will try to use this to get the minatakans to allow them to peacefully re settle there with, probably, a small group of peace minded romulans (the types that Spock had influence with)
the other story, we will see romulans, still warlike and uncompromising, use borg tech (where dahj comes in) to find a new home, by force with their same old M.O.'s
-----------------------------------------------------
probably have about a 1% chance of being right, but hey, thats the fun of it. so tired of hearing these 'theories' that do nothing but prophesize how much a show ill suck.

We'll see what happens for sure. I agree that plot speculation is right now pretty much all we can do whether we are excited for the show or not, as we are not the writers or producers. As things stand now the next thing to look forward to is the Season 4 premiere of The Expanse on 12-13-19.

is there a firm date for picard, or is still 'early 2020'?
it is being put out that filming for s2 will begin in march 2020 and Stewart has interviewed that he had to clear his schedule for s2 filming-which also means he wont die in s1--i guess?--
one would think that they would wait to get some reaction from initial episodes for s1 before they go into shooting s2, but who knows? most stuff seems to be getting a guaranteed s2 lately, no matter what

Meh....There are things I like in the trailer, but lots of stuff I don't like. The whole thing looks and feels like Abrams' reboot Trek, with visuals being a combination of that plus Discovery. The overall vibe is off. Doesn't feel like Star Trek to me still. I hope I am wrong, but I watched that trailer like 4 times so I could take in scenery, tech, and a bit of what might be the core of the show. I need to see more. But not that much more. It is shaping up to be not as bad as Discovery, but still maybe not real Star Trek. I'll wait and see.
He no longer sounds like the Picard I know. He seems more like professor Dumbledore or Gandalf.
More memberberries!
But they still haven't learned that fans can spot inconsistencies like a tribble in the Captain's ready room, cloaks on pre-Kirk Klingon ships, or in this case, the fact that Seven of Nine's ocular implant is NOT the same as the one in Voyager. We know she didn't have an assortment of them, so why is it so much different? I stopped the frames she was in to compare them, and they are a lot different in the details. Nothing was stopping them from recreating the original.
The answer to that is because they are once again using the Kurtzman alternate license to make this thing, which means that I am probably not wrong that this show could suck.

They blocked your video already.
They love the fans! Here is the video from CBS itself:Uniforms cost less in licensing than a very specific, very individual piece like Seven's ocular implant. Another one would be Geordi's visor and familiar ship designs. I saw a hologram of the 1701-D, but none of the designs of the other ships look that familiar. I am not excited because there is too much which doesn't feel right. The music is also wrong. It needs to be more orchestral.
PS, that other man by the fireplace is The Traveler. That means time travel, which means *groooaaaannn*

Still looking forward to this. And I won't have you gloomsayers disrupt my excitement.
