Top drama - easily as good as Happy Valley

Added benefit is that Gillian Anderson is MILF squared
Funny, I was thinking about her yesterday. Yes, definitely MILF squared

This is their 2014 model:
Samsung BD-H6500 Smart 3D Blu-Ray Player | Home Theatre, Blu-Ray Players : JB HI-FI

I reckon you would get a BD-F6500 if you went into JB or TGG - I saw them on sale a few days ago
What do you you think of this one.Will it do the job or should I just get the one you have suggested.
Samsung 3D Blu ray and DVD Player

Samsung 3D Blu ray and DVD Player Product code: BDH5500

It is $127 in HN.

I recently bought a cheap soniq smart tv. Then downloaded a program called xbmc and installed it on there. I can get all the british tv channels and some very neat extras!

Yes you can

Just change the DNS settings on the player to your unblock ones

Game of Thrones piracy war: Choice says Foxtel has itself to blame for illegal downloading of hit show - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

As it looks like the attorney general is siding with Murdoch, Netflix really have a massive opportunity to offer the illegal downloaders (and illegal Netflix subscribers) a guilt free cheaper option in Australia. It won't give you Game of Thrones though. I was unaware that iTunes ever had Game of Thrones but very typical to see it going exclusively to the expensive Foxtel. I think everyone should just ditch their foxtel account. Things will only change when the 500 thousand people watching Game of Thrones on Foxtel don't watch it on Foxtel.

It's a joke. I'm not sure if the gov. needs legislation to do this and if they do, would the socialists support it? Remember they tried to bring in an internet filter. Where this has been tried overseas it has been mainly ineffective. The UK gov. has forced ISPs to block cetain sharing sites, but as we know this is easily bypassed

I now mainly stream content that I pay for (albeit to US not Aus companies) and that the UK taxpayer pays for (BBC iplayer)

If this is blocked I will go back to torrents

If that is blocked I will go behind a VPN

The status quo in Australia is unacceptable. 7, 9 and 10 are banned in my house and Foxtel will never see another cent of my money

Does the country have to be changed each time you want to change from Netflix to the BBC?
I paid same price for this one last Saturday at G.Gs.It is now $140 in there today.
I still haven't manage to download the bbc app after trying for a week.God,knows what I am doing wrong.

Finished The Fall - superb. 2nd series should be good

Currently watching Sherlock on Netflix - not new but very good anyway

Martin Freeman is one of the best UK actors at the moment

Penny Dreadful good too - apart from the batty boy scenes

I've just had an Amazon Fire TV streamer delivered

I'll set it up and post how I get on with it

Local DNS settings should make it better than Roku
