I can give you an invite to some private sites if you like.

I use "usenet" which is setup to auto download and rename and store in the right spot. So all I have to do is watch.

I use torrents as a backup when the usenet doesn't find them

I haven't watched an ad in 5 years hahahaha

Errrr....pass :-((( Happy to stick with EZTV, BTchat  et al :wink1...which have served well since getting 'hooked' to TG avi's since 2000...if your a fan, Final Gear have links to this s20e01 rip in addition to the 720 & mp4's. Just like watching the show live in the UK :wink1

Until the 'local' broadcasters transmit in 1080 &/ or dont charge you an arm and a leg then force you to watch ads...stuff em I say.  :eek

No problem... those "Private sites" just means they are untouchable and clean from virus etc

Reminds me that I have not watched the latest top gear episode.  The way the commercial TV show it just ruins the experience.

Hiya Marcus, John et al...

...just had a look at the Top Gear 1080 file, it's not an mkv like I said (sorry), tis a .TS file (oddly), which may, in part account for it's size :think1 anyway,  the Western Digital line TV plays it just fine :thumbsup...check it out John :wink1

Cheers, the can :-)

I use a WD media centre which plays thing better than though the laptop.  I usually watch lower resolution versions of TV , as they still look great
