Well my nephew has put me onto Putlocker which allows you to stream movies but the quality isn't that great, does anyone know of a better alternative?

Cheers Trevor, have tried a few but they want you to register/login, credit cards details etc.

I'll give it a go.

What do you mean by stream movies? Do you want to store your dvd/BR movies on a local server and play back via network, or get movies from on-line source and playback?

The latter.

Getflix works really well and is only $2.95 per month. Their response and back up is amazing. The best service level I have ever experienced. I would rate them above Amazon for service.

I use dune hd which with blu-ray ISO is exact replica of blu-rays for hd audio and video. Can't beat that. Also use the appletv which is quite good too but but reduced(noticeably) on both picture and sound.

If you want good quality streaming then you will need to pay for it and will also need a fast internet/Wireless connection otherwise the content is continually buffering which kills the enjoyment.

As for the other streaming sites that are free the quality is poor and is only good for watching on a computer.

This is exactly what I wanted to know, cheers.

Putlocker is free and with no signup but the quality is not great. I'll look into one of the others.

OK hear is what I do

 

1. Fast internet ( lucky me can get Optus Cable ) but if ADSL+ do a speed test and ensure that speed is solid ( 10Mbps )

2. Ensure lots of data - I am on 500gig but depends, we watch perhaps 80% online 

 

Set up - Apple TV 

 

Step one - get a US iTunes account ( use US iTunes gift cards - I use Your One-Stop Shop for iTunes on face book great service - you get your codes in seconds ) - there are instructions on the site but its very very easy, 

Step two - get and unblock us account   http://www.unblock-us.com

 

Then you good to go with heaps of content - Apple TV has netflix ( $7.99 month ) HULU ( $7.99 month ) Crackle (Free) and lots of other stuff - you can also buy from US iTunes and US prices and more importantly release dates.

 

Between Netflix / HULU and son on the only TV you need to watch is the news ( or what ever  master crap voice show the wife is addicted to )

 

If the internet connection is good netflix pictures come through very good, the "Supper HD" shows much better than most free to air.

 

So for for $20 a month, much more content than foxtel, no adds and what what and when you want.

 

Not much live sport however

Screen shot of ATV channels - they have added more of late 

 

some are only of use to USA cable subscribers (HBO)

 

rumour of a pending update - could be software or software and hardware 

 

You can also access you own content as well - I have a 4TB drive full of movies and music
