Re: how to watch top gear...
It works fine for me on both a mac and a PC and I get the advantage of browsing and youtube or whatever else is on the internet. As opposed to converting file formats and copying, which are not my definition of "it just works", more "it works if I do some faffing about" but each to their own.
If you're an apple guy, a mac mini will do you (if you don't mind squinting at the font). Add one of these these and you can do all your surfing from the couch.

Its not faffing about for me , Its just what I have always done , Last time I tried Iplayer thru a dodgy IP address I couldn't get enough bandwidth for it to play properly and I quickly gave up and went back to my tried and trusted method , Plus I watch other stuff that isn't on the I-player , I used to download files and play them thru a USB stick in the Blu Ray player .
So shall we agree to disagree ?

Far too dangerous. There is a risk that while you are sitting there with your eyes closed someone will un-mute the TV. Say what you like about Piers Bloody Morgan, but he at least has one redeeming achievement to his name.

WiTopia is a good VPN, if you have got friends or relatives in the UK, ask them for their sky user name and password and you can watch sky in Canada, I did it last summer with my own sky ID

Re: how to watch top gear...
I was very dissapointed with the first show of the series.
Dare I say it's getting a bit long in the tooth?
The home-made car may as well have been the same sketch they did with the P50, the Paganni looks crap, I HATE Bently, the guest was some guy I don't give a crap about. I fast forwarded through half of it

I also had a Raspberry Pi delivered over the weekend which is a small computer for $35 that you can also install XBMC on and watch live streams from the UK, CA, Hockey etc on your normal TV. I've not set it up properly yet but good for what I've done so far.
