How to stream movies from pc to Xbox One
List of UK Apps on Xbox One, including Blinkbox which is due in May according to Blinkbox' own site.
BBC have also agreed that the reason for delay with iPlayer is their fault, and incompatibility with Kinect. Currently being worked on.
Perhaps it would be worth someone starting a thread for next gen consoles, tips and tricks rather than all of this being lost in other random nonsense?[/i]
BBC have said that the problem is that the Kinect doesn't work well with their software and it works perfectly well without Kinect. Microsoft won't let them launch without Kinect support though.
At launch there were far less apps too. Even the PS4 had less than the PS3. They really should have launched with everything ready.
Between my Apple TV and PS3 I've got all the apps I need in HD anyway, so still better to keep that downstairs and have everything else in the gaming room for gaming.

Ah, well the help offer still stands. Even if its just helping you frame something to the host with a bit more technical jargon. :)
I pay for the hosting and really I should have some access to the back end of the site, but it's very difficult to sort that out with little communication with the host.
Sounds like something you need to resolve with whoever is paying for the hosting. The host wont give you anything without their permission. And if the host accepts that, then theres no real reason not to let you access the site to fix stuff as needed.

I must admit that I don't know how it works, but I thought if I asked my web host to let me have the code for the site I can then transfer it or something? Yes, I really need to read up on this.
Alternatively, I just start from scratch and build my own site, learning as I go, or get someone to build a new one for me, then import content. It would probably end up being a vast improvement.

Still can't seem to get overly excited about either of the next gen consoles. I very rarely use my 360 for anything other than the odd bit of gaming, still perfectly happy with it TBH. Could have bought a next gen console last month but decided to book to go and see Epica in London instead.

My dog woke me up at 5am and came down to the lounge to find a huge amount of poo. Looks like she'd found an Easter egg wrapper with some little bits of chocolate during the night and it affected her stomach. Either that or she's been eating something else she shouldn't have.
Either way, huge volume of crap for such a small dog. She's on rice now to settle her stomach.
