Not everyone is reading my home thread, more people might be interested in Netflix though.
I downloaded it on Monday and have been watching more of "Anne with an E" free of charge :grin2: (I was watching it at Heike´s). If I want to carry on with Netflix then after 30 days I start to pay 7.99€ a month.
"Anne with an e " is "Anne of Green Gables" . in case you didn´t know and I am thoroughly enjoying it, better than all the blood and guts and fantasy stuff Netflix has.
I have never read the book and didn´t realise it all happens in Canada, but I bet there aren´t many who have never heard of the classic.
There are 3 prices for Netflix in this country, maybe the same everywhere I don´t know.

Hi Billbo.
Looking at any movie on 123movies seems to get me porn or adds and my AVG blocks sites. Or it wants my credit card. Maybe I have got to the wrong site.
Is there a correct one please?

Not a one to watch films, really, Jan. That, though, does sound like I might like it.

We buy dvd's, from the charity shops, to take away with us and never watch them. Mind you we are due to have some bad weather here in Spain so I might dig some of them out.
My circumstances are a bit (lot) different Pat, there are no charity shops here for a start, far and few secondhand shops.
UK TV we have never been able to get because we are too far east. It´s mostly series I have watched so far.
We never watched TV in the van, not even the DVD´s we took with us that are still in there, but now I am on my own who knows what I will do when I am away.

'The Spy' is a good watch, Mossad recruit an Egyptian to infiltrate the Syrian regime.

If the Mac and any tele has HDMI, I think they can just bee connected to watch anything coming in on the Mac.
Mind you we don't do that at home only when away.

I haven't got one as I download all my stuff from the secret internet fairies but there was a thread a while back all about them, I'm out right now but will see if I can find it later. Yes they need wifi as they stream the content and basically turn your TV into a smart tv where you can watch subscription services (assuming you have a subscription like Netflix and Amazon prime) and loads of free channels.

No reason why they wouldn't work in the fiver or motorhome as long as your TV had a USB port to plug it in and you have good unlimited wifi. I think they would work via a 4G or 3g phone hotspot or mifi as well but will eat data really quick.

The smaller the TV though I think the less bandwidth you will need.

Just found out that a fellow British camper has Amazon Fire and that a local company installed it for them. Not really bothered enough about tv to pay a subscription though. Because we have sunshine and longer daylight it doesn't seem so necessary. Will give it some thought....

I 'liked' your post Jan but in fact I don't really like it. The TV is a bit boxed in and no room for expansion.??

Of course, thats how it was built, IF I wanted a BIG TV like wot you´ve got it would be fixed above the two cupboards, but I have no intention of having a bigger TV, this one hardly gets watched anyway.

Or of course the two cupboards could be moved outwards as the 3 are all separate :grin2:

Thats what our friends say with their 19" TV. "We hardly watch TV". I must admit if I lived there I would want to watch their TV for long.

I'm with you on the tv size, Jan. I hate to walk into a room that is dominated by a tv. We only have one tv in the house and it sits discreetly in the corner in keeping with the rest of the room. I don't, either, like to see them high up on the wall because there is no room anywhere else.

We have decisions to make with the new bungalow. The lounge has french doors on either side of the fireplace. The fireplace is right where you would expect the tv to go. So, we (I) have to decide whether to place it in front of one of the french doors or in front of the fireplace? I suppose in the summer it could go in front of the fireplace? If we are at home in the winter then I expect that the curtains will be closed at night and it can go in front of them. Just seems a bit weird to keep moving it.

Oh dear Pat. I guess you might consider our TV to 'dominate' the room. But it is our focal point as I like a large tele to appreciate the Natural World and subtitles. My wife likes some 'noise' on all day sadly so it's keeping her company I am told. Recently as we are spending the winter at home the TV tends to be on most of the day. I tend to watch later live current affairs but my wife can always find something interesting even if it's an old B&W 20x repeat.
So we do get our monies worth out of the TV and can keep up with Euro News etc. I can't sit for more than a few minutes viewing a film or video on the monitor even thought it's 32".

I am just looking through to see what I might watch next, ( I need a break from this Blindspot crap), I´m going to rewatch Terrys recommendation right at the start in 2020 that I said I enjoyed. The Spy.
I noticed you finished paying off the fruitcake this year :LOL: 😂
