Yep, can't wait to see how things develop over the next year or so.
They are installing a Gigabit fibre to the home here now, loads of moaners say "You won't need it, £50 per month is really expensive"
These are the same morons who pay Sky £50 pm and said 56K was enough for home use.
Streaming and gigabit BB will be the future and couldn't be coming sooner for me, just need some decent content.
Physical DVD's is too 90's though. If you suggest a film to me now, then I have to add it to my list, wait for whatever I've currently got to go back, then it's lucky dip what you get next when the postman delivers it.
'Revels, watch Goats And Hoes' so I get home, click a few buttons and it starts playing. A much better service.
I see where you are coming from, but sometimes people want to rip those dvd's/BR's and add them to their collection on their NAS then stream it locally via plex or whatever else. But you're right, digital content is the way to go.
My collection is all online based. I've not burnt anything onto a CD in years!
I'll be sorting a NAS out once I can get a decent Internet connection.
What happens if one of those numpty BT engineers break your local exchange? You can't watch anything of your collection
No match for IF on the ATV2.
Very unlikely to happen if you are paying £50+ for the service. Obviously you know about this but engineers poking around a frame of copper wires and dissing a few subs is on its way out already. The Industry has changed immensely even in the 2 years I have been out of it.
They are going to offer content based stuff here, what I want is to be able to say, "Its Saturday night and I want to watch the latest Blockbuster (or original Rocky etc) then pay £3 and click my fingers and its ready.
This is the future and it will happen sooner than people think. The newest Next Generation Switches the Telcos are using offer this and more.
Sky will have to do something, or maybe just sort out their fcuking awful customer service and content.
It's reet good. People just love an excuse to moan.
It totally shows up LoveFilm's weak streaming selection, even if there's still not 8 billion films there.
Only thing is it's a bit poo on Apple TV, PS3 pisses all over it.
Still pointless Tom, or have they added more content since yesterday?
Only 14k? Is it an ADSL line?
BT severed through our fiber links in the London office, both of them
That was an interesting day (they have different f**king entry points in the building, I've no idea how that managed to break both)
Oh. Where was the last place you had it?
