I see TVNZ is keeping up their usual high standards on their new streaming service.

Not a lot of additional information from last night's launch event.

Good lord. When is this horrible unreality TV fad going to pass and we return to a reasonable standard of programming.

TVNZ should start a new channel called trash TV and dump all this garbage in there

Here is a crazy notion, lets give peace a chance.

This is going to be our quasi-official 'quality' sender that is the NZ equivalent of ABC and BBC?

'Better Public Media' is not going to result in TVNZ becoming like the ABC or BBC. It will simply result in RNZ being killed off as it gets absorbed into TVNZ which will continue to spew up the same rubbish that it has been known for since Lindsay Perigo declared it 'braindead' back in 1993.

On the bright side, at least the government won't have to deal with as much media scrutiny as they do with RNZ in its existing form.

Did they change the codec on the app redesign or something? I got through the whole first episode of Strange New Worlds without any complaints for visual quality.

watched my first show on the TVNZ+ app last night.
Looks to me like the advertising is coming much more frequently than the old ondemand app (but of shorter duration).
I don't like this change - it is interrupting my viewing. I prefer the way it was on the ondemand app - couple of mins ads but far less frequent.
Of course it is still nowhere near as bad as the threenow app which has long duration ads every five mins.

It likely won't be an app change that has done that

The app updates appear to just a visual rebrand (if at all as some is online delivered so online changes auto reflect)

Show + adverts are 2 separate streams. There are means of one without the other.

The triggering for ads to cut in and switch to the 2nd stream appears remotely controlled. Likely by AI based on the show length and likely popularity

You'll notice on some devices, hitting pause and going away, shows a stationary ad, I guess as it's gotten to a point in time when it expected to show one. Then carries on with program after unpause instead.
