In May I bought a Sony streaming Blu-ray player. The big reason was the apps. One of which is Crackle. I found the 'service' problematic. Often getting a show or movie to play was a coin toss. While the commercial breaks are typically two minutes. They add a good half hour to the running time of a movie. Because of lag, I had no trouble hitting mute before the commercials started. Never tried fast forward.
For some reason the icon for the app states the service is ending 12/11/2019. The last time this notice appeared, for Hulu, the app became 'unsupported.' Forcing me to cancel the subscription. A second tier broadcast network offers similar content, but I need to record the shows I like. Where Crackle lets me view on demand.
One final puzzle. A commercial I recently saw on Crackle, asks for viewers to take survey. My search led me here.
