[Electronics-Talk] audio description

[Laz]

The reason the TV shows don't show up on Sero until after the season
is over is because the person in the UK, who actually records these
shows and freely shares them only makes it available when he has
recorded all the episodes. Then Sero comes along and takes his work
and puts it up on their site and app.

Thanks to the kindness of this very nice person in the UK, you get to
see these movies and shows on Sero, but I doubt you'll ever hear Sero
thanking that very kind person for all their work.

There are a few of you on here that know who that person is but please
don't divulge their identity publicly.
