Choosing a service to download (not stream) tv shows?

[Naio]

There are so many options-- What do you use? What services offer a good deal?

I want no ads, don't mind a fee comparable to netflix. I am often in places where streaming isn't practical.

Nothing wrong with that!

You can also get a little doohickey for your computer, that lets you use it as a dvr.

What if.............
Say you take your legally fully recorded to capacity DVR from home. Why wouldn't it play on your RV's TV? The only issue I see is that you wouldn't be recording anything while you were gone unless you had a second DVR on your plan at home.

There is a free add-on for Firefox called Video DownloadHelper. I don't know if it will work for Netflix or Amazon Prime, but it works for YouTube and other video sources.

Update: Play On is now $15/year, $40 lifetime.

Mex, does anyone in the mexican gov actually care if you watch pirated tv? Git ye to utorrent and thepriratebay,se!

But, in this thread, I am looking for a more mainstream solution.

Where would I go?

McSanchez's

or

Starbook's?

I nearly fainted when I found out the price of the Deep Space 9, series (Over $600.00)

If Americans want to resolve the issue, spend a few trillion and erect a stationary satellite or network allowing T4 speeds via Wifi. Gates, Bezos and crowd should be required to pay up the old snotbox to help fund such an endeavor as well as citizenry.

Being an education nut, the ability to stream data direct to classrooms would help teachers. Just imagine a teaching program that would confirm your little grandson Johnny is a classroom screwoff. "Did you do your homework?" would take on a whole new meaning.

Might as well keep watching old sci-fi series. News program fiction puts them to shame.

Gogettum Naio 🙂
A lot of folks will pitnick a thread apart. Cyber spitwads.

For anyone who disagrees I will hack your television and poison it with ten thousand hours of Mexican soap operas.

How about just buying used DVDs from eBay or gas stations? My gas station has dozens of different DVDs for sale for a buck each - that's pretty cheap!

Gordon, honey, if you had read the thread you would lnow I am insisting on legal services that cost money.

Have you ever really looked at the titles they're selling? Or in the pawn shops? I used to look on my lunch break, gave up long ago.

True, they're certainly not top box office new releases.

Hmm... I did once, 3 years ago, download some large files on a park wifi. Nice person that I am, I started the transfer at 1 am and got up at 4 to make sure it was completed. I guess I might do that again someday. Not at one of western's parks, of course.

What I was thinking to do this time is download stuff all summer while I am at my S&B, and stockpile it. Also, if I can find a Mobley, I will use it. Or my phone, at the end of each month to use up my data quota.

[Naio]

As I said, I am not doing this on park wifi or public wifi.

For the same reason, a 30 day limit does not work for me. I am gone longer than 30 days.

There's no excuse for the provider (a small park owner or huge multi-national like McD's) to not implement quality of service practices on their network, preventing any one user from monopolizing the connection.

Such equipment is not expensive or difficult to configure these days, compared to last century.
