Re: Streaming video - my experience
Can you get BBC's iPlayer on the Apple TV 3 or is it only available on the ATV4?

No reason to avoid Apple products, in fact I've never come across a better device for watching Netflix.

I find that hard to believe
Whichever way you slice and dice it, AFTV is better than ATV

Assuming iPlayer is in the Australian Appstore then there should be no problem. If not it will need to be sideloaded. Of course, a smartDNS or VPN will be required.

You need to use a UK iTunes account to get the app and spoof the IP address via a 3rd party solution to get it running.
Does AFTV work with Getflix?

But it's not

Re: Streaming video - my experience
Why would it be if it's only available for UK residents? What's the problem with setting up a UK iTunes account and downloading a free app? None.
So how do you watch iPlayer/Netflix/Amazon Prime using the AFTV?

Re: Streaming video - my experience
I have no moral problem with downloading TV shows. I am sick to death of studios cancelling decent content after the initial mini series or even worse half way through.
Recently I started getting into Ascension, which was slow to start with, but really picked up, only to discover that it had been cancelled. The list of shows that have suffered similar fates is huge.
When the studios stop treating their fans with contempt, then I may reconsider...
