I have Netflix however the shows I want to watch after I have finished breaking bad, dexter and prison break such as Sopranos, Boardwalk empire and The Wire arnt on there. Does anyone know a site I can watch these on? If not I will just buy the DVD's.

Use a proxy and join the US Netflix - still not everything but there are loads more on there.

the wire every season is on sky on demand for free if you have sky.

I know mate and I think Boardwalk is as I used to have Sky but recently moved house and sorting finances out to see if I can warrent having the sky full package again.

Download a program called XBMC, its a free open source software/program. Once you get into it you can add plugins called repositories. These are like small apps. I use Icefilms, One Channel and a one call Mash Up. It gives you access to nearly everything out there including all the latest films and the like and the majority of it is HD content.

I just bought a old computer and have it sat under me telly running it, stuck a HD tuner in there too so get all the freeview HD terrestrial too. No need for a Sky subscription anymore!!

You can get most footy through it too using Sports Devil but the quality can be painful if you dont find a decent stream.

Hope that helps you fella.

I've a US mate who does that; easy as and he watches loads of stuff you can't get on UK Netflix.

thanks for the help

If you go to the trouble of changing your IP/DNS to access American content try out 'HULU', its a kind of american tv iplayer, has some good stuff on there.

To be honest I am going to try the XBMC and the watchseries as I have the first clue about that Proxy stuff.

wiziwig.tv for decent footy streams, need to install additional software in some cases though, such as acestream

I wish I knew more about computers etc, you make it sound so easy

Movie4u.org has a lot of recent stuff as well as a decent archive an' all.

I honestly didnt have a clue up until January when I decided to get BT vision ripped out.

Its really simple, as long as you can connect a PC to you tv your already winning!

The XBMX software can be quite daunting until you get you head around it. Now I wouldnt dream of paying for sky or owt (although I do use me mothers sky go through Xbmc so the kids can watch cartoon network).

You can get it up and running on a £30 Raspberry PI but its totally slow. I just got an old dell computer and spent about 100 on upgrading it.

Aren't these services all a bit of a con now??

We bought a telly with an onboard computer and we've had wi-fi for a good while. We just go online and pay the cable charges which are cheap but the price for the service. We can get pretty much anything.
