I am an "Amazon Prime" member and bought one of those "Fire Stick" adaptors for use with the 50" high-tech flat screen TV.

It sounds wonderful but my slow and unreliable Broadband means its not going to work I'm afraid - the signal keeps dropping out.

The Fire Stick has picked up a BT Wi-Fi hotspot that looks encouraging. I am a BT Broadband customer but so far I have been unable to log into the Hot Spot . . . . Grrrrr Technology, got to love it .

Will I ever get to see "The Grand Tour" ??? - I'll keep persevering with the tech'.

[BobMurphy]

Bob.

Which add on did you use? Searched for a stream but failed...

Just downloaded (vuze) and watched. Very, very entertaining.

But hey, what an intro. It was stunning. And backgrounded by our very own Hot House Flowers singing Clarkson's favourite version of Clarkson's favourite song!!!

Interview today on RTE (Irish radio) explaining how they ended up singing the intro....

Brilliant. BBC must be crying their eyes out. Evans is probably standing on the car park parapet right now.

I used exodus, which had a perfect HD stream.

Only if you get someone to hold it juuust in the right position and not move Frank.

Those were the days. 'Give horizontal hold a twiddle. No that's worse. That's it there'

My Dad had a big mirror set up on a chair in front of telly. That way he could settle down standing behind the telly trying to get the picture stable.

Funny enough installed the plexus app last night, but then lost access to the TV as SWMBO wanted to watch some crap

 

[frank rabbets]

No Rich they would not. Everything too easy and they're swamped with info. Computer telly does not seam to be any more reliable across the board.
