Hey Tunnie, I've been browsing the site for months now (here it comes) but I can explain... I lost my previous account so just signed up for a new one today. So anyways 'ol pal, can I have a code? ;D

On a serious note, is this service limited to the U.K only?

Yes, Geo-restricted to UK IP's only, this is due to content rights  :y

Aw, thats a shame. I'll be going abroad for a few months and can't bare watching dubbed films. :(

Your only option would be VPN tunnel into a UK host, then stream from there.

There are various solutions out there for iPlayer and such. But for this, you would need a host here to connect to.

You know I was really thinking about doing that but I wasn't sure how ethical the mindset here on the forum was. Nice to know being cheeky is allowed, haha.  :P

Can't see why, its not illegal, there are genuine reasons for it. Need a reliable connection though.

Think i'm down to one code now though!

Any suggestions on which VPN to choose?

Got this email today from NowTV  ::)  :-* ...



Tried it on the PS3 last night, Picture quality is on par with Netflix but their App is a little disorganised compared to Netflix but better than LoveFilm streaming service PS3 App.. Although did have a niggle with NowTV on the PS3 the picture every 15 or so seconds the picture would move as in change size although could have just been that particular movie didn't have time to try any more.

Sorry no, not my area really. Do you have any friends connections you could "borrow"  :-\

Would be quite expensive to leave a setup here, just for that if going abroad.  :(

They are not officially advertising the PS3 App as far as i know, its a beta only release so not going to be perfect. See if you get same issues on another device, think you have an iPad or iPhone?

Thanks for screenshot, never seen what is actually sent afterwards!

VPNs are generally inefficient, and aren't suited to asyncronous speeds. You will need good bandwidth between the vpn endpoints.

I've bought one, could not blag a free one  ::)

It's basically a Roku Box (Android version of Apple TV), Sky did a deal with them to get NowTV on Roku. Its very similar minus a network port, SD card slot and few other bits, but for £9.99 including a HDMI cable, its a bloody bargain!

Sky are loosing money on them, with aim of getting them back in subs.

Also considering Roku starts at £49.99, it's a no brainer  :y

Forgot to say why I put those links in  ::)

You can install Plex by popping it in developer mode, Plex is a Media server, where it can play all of your local media content. You can also install loads of other Roku Apps this way (as described in the video)
