Damn you sensible people, I am still with BigPond ... I know it's expensive but it's reliable and I'm loath to change.
Stuck with a 13Mbps connection speed due to being 2.4k from the exchange, but hey, they'll be doin fibre to my door in 2055 so should be able to break all the records then! |

Oh i'm with Bigpond too, but get 200Gb as we speak. New plan is 500Gb and can update with a phone call, but never go over the 200Gb so no need!

I urge anyone who likes watching downloads, and is not technology minded, to get a sub-$100 Western Digital TV Live media player - a simple, incredibly easy to use piece of technology. The latest version - $135 from Officeworks - has built-in media streaming and access to Youtube, Facebook etc.
I have yet to come across a media file that it cannot play. |

I have yet to come across a media file that it cannot play. Or come across a file that developes pic / audio sync issues like some other devices i've used over the years. I've got a Telstra T-Box which with it's last update now has 'My Media' tab so you can access your network thru that. It was looking good till it complained about the odd file, but worse the pic / audio has gone out on a few files ... :thumbdown: Got 3 WDLive units tho and NONE have ever missed a beat ... :) Can stream 1080p to all 3 from my desktop without a glitch! ... :thumbsup: Only gripe is no volume control, but what TV don't have a volume control these days! |

I manage to keep under our 50Gb limit most months. I don't do high def video though, not worth it with our TV :D
The cost is extortionate though. I only go for HD now if available, and a few weeks back took in the extended version of Avatar i've had stored on me drive for ages! I'd just bought a 60" so had waited for that to view it on .... awesome quality! ... :thumbsup: |

Cant figure out how to stream yet! What's the secret?
I take it your playing off your USB? ... if so, that'll be the sync issues. I've had numerous DVD players with USB inputs over the years but had the sync issues with all of them. Tried allsorts of sticks, but the same with all! Can't stand all that hitting pause / play during a movie! ... :thumbdown: |

Well I did it.... Foxtel goes off tomorrow... then they get the box on the 28th of April... they offered me 76 bucks per month which I politely declined. Heres hoping the retention team calls me with a 56 buck and iq2 offer before that date. If they dont, I'll never use or recommend them again. Fact is you can get football live on the net from anywhere and you can get any show you want.... It's just a bit of work thats all. I'm minus a recording device now though.... I may take up IInets Fetch tv 20 buck offer for that yet....:unsure: I do have Play TV and a Playstation though... so that may just suffice. Got the Revo and XBMC happening.... Wife can use it easily. The Downloads she is having a bit of trouble with. |

Re: How can you watch UK TV on your computer for Free in Australia?
On a small point.....am still working it all out :)
On the websites where people can have access to download TV progs (eg. isohunt) why are the titles not very good or informative? Or am I missing some of the detail. For example if a person (not me) looks up 'The Apprentice UK' some of the results have titles having no relation. I hope this question makes sense :rofl: Am a bit miffed:confused:;) |
Re: How can you watch UK TV on your computer for Free in Australia?
Unless I am missing something, headings for potential TV downloads are just not very good:confused: is that right?
Can anyone recommend a site that is good for finding books? How would one get an invitation code? |

Re: How can you watch UK TV on your computer for Free in Australia?
I use thebox.bz, to me their descriptions are very good (they really only have UK though, not sure which Apprentice you're wanting). Send me your email address if need an invite as I have 8 to give away (sometimes you don't even need an invite with this site).
