Just don't try to say its name too fast.

 

[machpost]

By the name alone I would've assumed it was porn.

 

[Bustycat]

Some people may complain there are no eros from Eros Now Select.

 

[cocky jeremy]

Well, there's something I definitely never asked for.

 

[apparatchik]

Is Bollywood doing adult films now? and they have an exclusive Apple TV channel for it?

 

[Picard J.L.]

Can't wait to start my brain liquefaction process.

 

[superspiffy]

Will English subs be supported? Don’t even know why I’m asking not like I watch Indian movies.

If it hadn't been for the description in the article, I would have thought this was an on demand service for streaming premium pornographic motion pictures.

Bad naming aside, it's fun to see just how ignorant people are.

"Oh, let me make the same porn joke that the last 4 comments above mine have made".
"Oh, let me take 2 mins out of my life to make a derogatory remark about another culture's content that I never watch".

Bollywood banging?

By the name alone I would've assumed it was porn.

When we saw the channel on our Apple TV, I asked my girlfriend if it was porn. Definitely a poor naming choice.

While I get your point, if you know your product or service will be used outside of your region, you need to do due diligence on naming. It’s why Apple TV isn’t named iTV (ITV being a long-standing British broadcaster).
