Unhappy Dish Network needs a reminder...

True we have BBC america even if it does show endless repeats of ground force etc and im thankful for Eastenders on PPV but why are they ignoring all the millions of British ex-pats ?
they have spanish packages, chinese ,german, french, indian, polish etc lots of packages except a British package !!

I have wrote Dish asking for a Brit package, it can be done !
please write Dish and help get some decent Brit tv on !!

There's plenty on BBCA about what programs you want, and loads of people fill in the forms, but they dont' take any notice....

Could you stop asking for the ******* other crappy stuff as well!

UK Nova, now there's the solution. If I could just figure out how to transfer our downloads to our big screen telly!! It would be nice to watch Two Pints on the there instead of small laptop screen.

its easy.... I do it ALL the time.

1. to go www.xbox-scene.com - read the articles, all the gubbins and LEARN how to hack your own xbox... or... ignore it all.. read the ADVERTS and pay someone to supply you with a pre-hacked pre-installed xbox.

2. install a file server app (from www.xbox-scene.com) on your pc and point it at your video/music files

3. setup a network between your xbox and your pc...

4. install Xbox Media Centra (again.. get info from www.xbox-scene.com)

5. ENJOY.

Easy...get a dvd burner and convert shite and burn it...or, get a dvd player that plays mpeg 4 and just burn the stuff to a regular cd and play it on the player...

The Philips jobby ain't to bad, and it's got an easy hack...

That's what I did- bought a DVD burner (also got a cheapie divx player to cover all bases)... now I need another computer to be able to download even more There aren't enough hours in the day to download and burn all I'd like to from there. UkNova rocks!

Hubby has burned them to a cd, but couldn't figure out how to get them to work. So not every dvd player plays mpeg 4 and some have hacks? Questions, Bobo dear.....we have two dvd players, one for region 1 and because we couldn't hack that one we bought the cheapy to hack for region 2 dvds....I wonder if one of these will do the job?
