At work of course

I never let work get in the way of fun

Re: Streaming video - my experience
 

Arrived yesterday. :thumbsup:

...So tempted to open it up and play with it (:sneaky:), but nope, "do not touch" 'til Christmas. :( Better wrap it up I s'pose... :D

Re: Streaming video - my experience
 

I've ordered a Roku 3 from the US and one from the UK (the US one costs in USD what the UK one does in GBP :confused:)

They are also my Christmas present :rolleyes:

Re: Streaming video - my experience
 

Ganna tray the UK one first...

In that link which I sent to Renth I think it mentioned that a US addy for the US Roku account is needed. Are you prepared for that/do you have a workaround?

Re: Streaming video - my experience
 

I've got a US address - I have close family in Hawaii

I use it for my US Kindle account

Re: Streaming video - my experience
 

That's good. I have close family over there too so might do the same if the UK one is good. Please let me know your opinion on the US offering when you've got it all set up.

Interesting about the Kindle. What are the advantages with having the US one?

Re: Streaming video - my experience
 

US Kindle site has mote choice of books and lower prices. You need a US address and credit card but there is plenty of info online explaining how to do it

I won't post a link as it's slightly illegal

Re: Streaming video - my experience
 

Cool! ;)

Re: Streaming video - my experience
 

I live in Oregon (no state sales tax) ;)

Re: Streaming video - my experience
 

:lol: That's a long way to commute

Re: Streaming video - my experience
 

Ah well, the temptation got the better of me and instead of wrapping it up it's all set up. :rolleyes: Problem is I seem to have all of the US channels. And it's not live stuff at all. You have to select clips, episodes, movies, etc. No more vegging out on the sofa and watching one programme run into the next. :unsure: Even Sky News is "on demand" - not really rolling news. I reckon I can get used to it though. :thumbup:

Re: Streaming video - my experience
 

You need Nowhere TV for non-on demand "live" Sky TV. There are quite a few live streams. RT is another that comes to mind.

:goodpost: Great! Got it now, thanks.

Re: Streaming video - my experience
 

MOX is another good channel, if you like weird music.

Re: Streaming video - my experience
 

The only way to get HBO Go is if you share (for a price) someones login. Have a look at Whirlpool as I think I read about it on there.

Alternatively there is HBO Nordic. Same HBO programs and they have an English language option. I use Unotelly and it is listed on there and I can access it on my computer but not WDTV. Think it was about 10euro p/m. Again Whirlpool has the answers how to get it as I have not signed up.....yet!.
