    If there are no BIR's, is it worth installing wardrobes in every room?

    I've always installed robes into our houses that didn't have them for this same reason. I always build myself (framed, plaster etc & coz I can). I think some of those kit types are weak as (you know what) - mine will last as long as the house & easily repairable, if need be. I usually only do...

    Netflix

    I suggest & use a paid service. I can recommend Unotelly. The standard Dynamic DNS service is good enough for most devices (tv's, xbox, AppleTV etc) at home and it supports multiple users at the same time. If you intend to use mobile phone whilst out & about etc, then get their DNS/VPN...

    Nice..........Had a look at the trailer on youtube....first impression was a mix of Twin Peaks & something else. I would expect not avail on Netflix until end of season (if at all). Available on Hulu though already (if using a dns/vpn). I might start watching this after finish my current...

    If you want the most out of content availability, then perhaps use a "dynamic dns" service (as I've mentioned before), it's easier to setup xbox, bluray smart tv's etc. If you'll be purely playing via a laptop/pc then it might be easier to use a vpn service that will let you change between...

    Is it time for Frankston?

    Not long now until they start the demolition of the old Ambassador. Sad for me as we had our wedding reception there *sniff* But on the good side - it's the start of a well needed cleanup of that area. I wonder if the other part at the rear (which has already been converted to...

    2015-2016 Budget

    Harvey Norman shares up up....apparently on the back of the 20K deduction Wonder if I can justify this "Budget 2015 Business Bundle Saver" :D https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/budget-bundle/

    Move property to sold

    I've noticed one of my IP's still has "Under Contract" from the sale to the vendor I actually purchased off..........2 years later! That is to say, the listing that still shows is from the previous sale. I purchased from the new owner after only 6 months and from a completely new agent...

    Not sure about pure movies numbers, but in general (atm), the total no's of all movies/tv shows is OZ (1313) vs US (7724). In addition, if you roved other parts of the world, you will find stuff not available in either of these, so the unique titles across all regions is much more (something...

    340k asking block of 5 units what things I need to consider ?

    I don't mind the town these units are in, I have looked there for houses on several occasions......... BUT there is probably no way I'd be buying what looks like a crap load of asbestos to me. I can handle a little (pretty much impossible to avoid in old property), but being totally clad in...

    I just changed from US to OZ for few mins to check out differences. First thing I noticed was that shows like Housos is not avail in US but is in OZ (expected). Not sure how they'd subtitle Housos for the US market. If you use a Dynamic DNS service, you'll find you can move between US...

    My son uses both via his Xbox. I'm more lazy about changing settings, so only use US in the lounge.

    Tim86 - Do you have your playback settings at "Auto" or "High" ? I believe when set to "Auto", it will adjust to best bandwidth setting. Perhaps forcing it to "High" will fix your problem?

    Netflix

    Just binge-watched "Wentworth", "Daredevil" & an investor/reno show, "Flip & Flop" over the last week. Giving the Netflix a workout during the day-time. Better than housework :D

    Netflix

    My peak time bandwidth with Internode seems to have taken a BIG hit. We use to be able to have 2 x Netflix USA streaming at same time. The last week or so has become REALLY BAD - now have to kick the teen off Netflix or any other type of streaming so we can watch in the lounge. Even FB or...

    Yep. And it was interesting to read in the news today about Telstra looking at links with Netflix despite their ties with Foxtel. http://www.smh.com.au/business/telstra-in-talks-with-netflix-despite-foxtel-stake-20150423-1mralu.html
