Australia Doesnt Have Talent

[(B1) MR_fanny]

i find myself watching sbs and abc more now days...heck even chan 31 sometimes when they have those hot rod things on. nothing worthwhile on the other chans except for simpsons and maybe dexter.

yeah the only free to air channel I regularly watch is SBS... have been watching the new Underbelly and enjoying it... Foxtel is getting pretty bad these days too, I don't think I will renew my subscription when it runs out... I will just D/L the stuff I want to watch... Entourage, Mad Men etc

Oh if anyone is into the Underbelly stuff do yourself a favour and hunt down a copy of Blue Murder... its about corrupt cops in NSW in the 70's... done by the ABC years ago, much better than Underbelly IMO

the only good reality show ever made is the UFC one... they do all the typical reality tv sh!t talking, posing and carrying on but then guess what... they get into the cage and proceed to smash the living crap out of each other... the only real way to solve all those petty disagreements and politics... violence lol

Underbelly 2 is pretty good! So far though, I think I enjoyed number 1 more as it's closer to home and a little more modern. I am also not the biggest fan of Matthew Newton as a leading character but hey, whatever.

Does uTorrent do Upnp? The main reason I'm using Aureus is the fact that the build-in Upnp works very well with my D-link router.

uTorrent does do uPNP natively to the best of my knowledge. There have been some issues with it though particularly with Vista.

utorrent does to upnp..im using an older versions till because apparently the new ones suck.

dont even bother much with normal tv these days..utorrent + RSS schedule = automatic tv shows downloading.. link that into Tversity that scans every 6 hours or something and then i have everything I want to watch ready to go from a ps3 and xbox360.

No probs with uTorrent on Vista64... at all.

awesome, thanks for the update.

[AGE]

anyone seen underbelly 2? any good?

Yeah i like it.... but you need beer. Every time you see Boobies on Underbelly you have a drink, it can get a little messy

I find i'm buying more DVD's nowadays with all the shitty Free to Air stuff.... and now with the PS3, i have all my Top Gear Ep's on it. So when quality shows like Today Tonite come on, it's over to Captain Slow.... :blink:

Actually is there a decent program on TV??

I do enjoy "New Inventors", and "Spicks and Specks".... but that's about it. Oh and the Cricket in HD, with Bill and Tony doing the Agro thing

[dezz]

What shits me even more is how channel 10 insist on abbreviating the name of all of their shit shows...

"dance"

"loser"

and so on...

[paulr33]

yeah ABC and SBS have come up pretty good lately

screapheap challenege is good

young inventors

theres some debate one - cant remember its name

[Phatboy]

Is uTorrent the way forward?

All TV sucks, the only way I survive is with an epic DVD collection.

Yes utorrent is good.

Isn't that expensive? Just download torrents.

I agree

[Marco-R34GTT]

packed to the rafters

Man, that is a top show... Fcking miles better than Home and Away and Neighbours... I reckon the casting is spot on...

[adznight]

i have a big arse tv. i don't even watch tv.

the new season of 24 is about the only thing i watch

ps. bittorrent pwnz! what client do u use adam??

Yah BIG TV FTW! I'm still using Azurus but the old version without the B/S GUI. Does the job and that's all I care about

[some_cs_student]

Anyone tried http://getmiro.com/ ?

Its a HD TV palyer for your PC that assist in downloading / storing content for you, including bit torrent, haven't tried it but I am curious if anyone else has given it a test....

[paulr33]

i use a WD HD TV box at my place

is great, plays everything

cheap too

No shit... I couldn't tell from your name or profile pic

DVD's are writable but I do buy a bunch when I see good stuff for $10.

[adznight]

I just download then play them via my PS3 or 360 these day. They are pretty good now, support most codecs and it's so easy! Media center = dead.

+1

PS3 FTW ( i just need to up the gig space on it )

[krzysiu]

Yea tv now days is shit. All i do is download torrents then copy them to our network storage (1 Terabye Network HDD) and use my PS3 to play them...

We used to have Optus Vision back in the day (Long time ago lol). We had it for about 3 years before we got sick of the same shows over and over again, even though there actually were no commercials. Wouldnt even bother with pay TV now...
