Christmas Tree 4725 Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 Actually my Sky's been shit for the last 24 hours. Keeps juddering and freezing. Mans coming back today. I'm guessing my 10 year old dish must need replacing. Apparently the neighbours tree had grown to tall!!!! Dish moved, problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10857 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Sky are blocking the sharing sites to the point it's making it harder to keep up to date with American shows. If there was a company that had a similar approach to tv as Spotify does to music I'd be more keen to sign up. Netflix and Love FIlm have been criticised for their lack of content by a few mates.

Gemmill 44886 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I've not noticed any blocking of anything like that by Sky tbh. Are you talking about things like the pirate bay? If so there's a shitload of proxy versions - every time one disappears, another 2 or 3 pop up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44886 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 By the way, if you do get netflix, you need an unblock-us.com account (or equivalent). Without access to the US content, Netflix is a LOT less use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44886 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 So you go to that link, sign up for an account - it's 5 Canadian Dollars per month, so about £3.25. You need to go in and edit your internet settings on the PS3 (per instructions on their site, or I can tell you, it's DEAD easy. Then from then on, if you want to use a different version of Netflix, you go on the unblock-us website on your computer and there's a drop down menu, and you just pick USA or UK before you sign into Netflix. Then when you fire up Netflix, it'll take you to whichever version you selected. You can get a month's free trial of Netflix and a week' free trial of unblock-us, so give it a go.

Gemmill 44886 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 What's happening with yours? Any word on what caused it/what can be done to make sure it doesn't happen again? It hadn't occurred to me with you running your own company, it must have been doubly worrying - anyway look, don't answer any of this if you don't want to, but hope you're back on your feet again soon!

Monkeys Fist 42452 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 It was a fairly straightforward heart attack - caused by a blocked artery. They put a stent in, and it's now pills for life and a few tweaks to the diet. Had a family history of heart disease, so it wasn't as big a shock to me as it was to a lot of my pals. I'm off the ropes for 7 weeks ( at least), whilst I build up strength again, but they reckon there's no reason I shouldn't get back to full fitness. I'm taking it as a kick up the arse, and heeding it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleeToonFan 1 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I go online for American DNS and find one every time new ones go down. Easy enough for anyone else who pays too much for things like this as it is (MLB.tv costs me 15 a month, Xbox Live 6 quid and Netflix 6 quid) and doesn't want to add even 3 pounds to their bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7029 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Good man. Netflix will help out with the next 7 weeks anyway! Get into it's always sunny in Philadelphia. UK Netflix has the first 8 series. Gets brilliant by series 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 It's fantastic It references itself brilliantly as well - with mostly likeable characters - If I'm ever rough from a night out I can watch it all day if there's no football on or whatever. Danny Devito is brilliant in it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10857 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Sorted Sky again, now paying £55, but getting the full monty. Best thing about it is it's getting installed on Thursday and the internet should be up and running by the 6th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
