Title: Friday Night - not happy!
Post by: Serge C on November 15, 2013, 08,53:31 AM

The women folk have all left me this evening, so I thought I'd download a movie on our fancy, new apple iTV.  It's a 2 hour film and it's currently telling me it will take 3 hours and 45 minutes to download!

At this rate, I'll be asleep by the time it's ready to watch,

Does your tv have internet access. If so, look up Project Free TV. We don't actually download, just let the shows build up in cache then watch them.

Actually, I forgot, we load the show onto a computer then connect the computer to the tv.

We've watched a few through Apple TV, and we usually start watching them straight away, no buffering, no delay.  But just because I want a man-night-in, and watch "The LittleMermaid", technology bites me and says "you shall wait!"

I'll be p15sed by the time the film is ready!

Yep, internet - never there when you really need it. Maybe Apple didn't pay their ISP bill and got throttled down. ::)

And which version of Little Mermaid did you want to watch. I smell something fishy going on here. :P
