Downloading TV programmes & films
 

Any recomendations ?

I've been using the Sky Player service, which is OK, but the content is fairly limited.

I've somewhat restricted myself as I object to paying again to download things I already subscribe to....

Anywhere else that is worth a look - I spend a couple of hours a day on a train, so downloading tv & films to watch is a handt.

Mininova or Piratebay.

Can u not bring a laptop with you with a internet modem usb stick? Three sell pay as you go ones, and contract ones, but most companies now offer free laptops when you take an internet dongle out, so its cheaper for the consumer

Well if you had that option, bbc iplayer, channel four od, fives catch up service aswell as itv's has done me fine since they came out :thumb:

For Television programs I would recommend Home - UKNova for English programs (although you ahve to wait several days to subscribe) and for American (and some English programs) TvTorrents.COM -.

For movies you have to go to sites as mentioned above as they are illegal. TV Programs sit in a grey area at the moment.

hmmmmm well if you are going to use the aforementioned T.sites, either use a proxy(s) at a minimum or at least Peer Guardian.

You will not need a proxy with Piratebay btw due to how the trackers 'Reach'

I was hoping not to spend more money if possible. The train has WiFi, but it's a bit patchy, not sure how good 3G would be for the whole route....

I'd rather download overnight & watch without connectivity if at all possible.

I'll take a look at these & see if they have any off line capability, or may try them with train WiFi first - thanks

I guess I'll need to look up what that means & tread carefully

Thanks - but these look a little complicated / scary for me

Thanks - I've signed up for UKNova - is it safe to use ? Any precautions I should take ?

BBC iPlayer is perfect :)

4 od looks promissing, but I'm having problems installing it.

Five won't let you download the free stuff :(

Thanks

Very easy. Type into 'search' what you want, click to order the results by number of 'seeds' to ensure you get good d/l speed, select the one you like and click to download the torrent. Drag the downloaded torrent file into a program like BitTorrent, Vuze, Azureus etc and leave it to do its stuff.

I haven't had any problems, just keep your ratio (i.e. upload as much as you take).
