1. I am now able to stream TMC via my AT&T cellular plan with their AT&T WATCH app on ipad

or laptop that is included, at least for now.

While I wish I could watch it on a bigger screen, I'm happy to get to watch some of these classic old films.

I can't believe I'd never seen all of Dr. Zhivago before, but there it was--all three hours of it. LOL
