TV Torrents
 
Chaps and Chapesses

What are we all using for TV torrents these days? I used to use something fantastic (called TV Torrents I think) but it closed.

Any help appreciated. There is only so much red tube a man can watch.

Besides porn, what are u trying to watch/download? Can you not just use a VPN or are u trying to watch things that aren't yet out?
I used to use one years ago but not sure of the name, bit torrent and u torrent rings a bell but they may be just sidelines of a torrent?!?

Is there something called red curtain? Or is that a porn site too :o

The only curtains I know about are made from nets or beef.

Actually, I have netflix, iplayer etc all without VPN, so am mostly OK. There are a couple of very specific kids TV shows that I want to download that have been played in the UK. This is why I'm after a TV focused torrent site.

The jolly roger marina (think about it) is still up and running and accessible from Etisalat but may be blocked on Du.

I've rarely had an issue identifying the torrents i want on there even for quite old and very new TV shows.

I also have netflix but need a certain technology similar to a veepeeen. Do you watch NF without even DNS configuration??

I use a DNS spoofer. I use an internet enabled Samsung TV and changed its region and DNS settings. Works a treat for that and the iplayer.

sadly, captain hook and his parking space doesn't have what I'm looking for.

Yup - using the same - Its pretty good performance as I even managed to watch some of the 4k stuff which is REALLY bandwidth heavy.

Some mates of mine used film on for a while and had reasonable success but I dont think the quality was great.

I use Filmon all the time here in Philippines. However, you now have to pay if you want to record/download TV progs. you can stream free in Standard definition but downloads are in HD. You can pay month by month which may help you decide if it's worth it. Otherwise use something like kickass torrents but no-one may post the shows you're interested in, it's mainly the popular shows.

look online about how to change its region and DNS settings. As far as I'm aware LGs are difficult / impossible to do. Samsung's are more flexible.

Do you want them to be downloaded or stream? I use watchseries to stream literally ANYTHING.

A bit sad to hear. I'd have paid you good money (beer) to come and sort my new TV out with this kind of set up. Seems silly to have got a 60" all-singing-all-dancing LG and then to use it connected to a laptop / mac.

yeh, my smart TV operates just like it would in the UK.

Actually, it is a bit more complex than that - for the purposes of iplayer it is in the UK, for netflix it thinks its in the US.

That's excellent. Apart from the netflix bit. I'm about to cancel mine (I can get on UK and US with my VPN) because I never watch it and even when the mrs is out, I can't find ANYTHING good on there. EVER.

Apart from The Interview, that was top drawer.
