Nice one, Boz. Thank you, sir.

Thanks Boz..

Great post! Thank you very much (y)

Thanks Boz...Rock on 🎧🎵🎶🎹💿

A poor attempt at British humour full of dry wit and satire. Just like this comment. :{

Baldrick! I have a Cunning plan!

How can you even compare Blackadder with that egotistical piece of self love called the Office?

This is not the complete set. No Back and Forth or The Cavalier Years

Worth every penny! If it weren't for this, I don't think we would've got the likes of the Office and Partridge.

Nice, but an early 6am start though! Better set the alarm.

Regarding the delay - pause your TV until the two are in sync. I've been sharing the PSVR during matches with my son. He prefers the main stand view to see the overall tactics, while I hop behind the goals and have the floating TV screen when the action moves further away. It's great fun. Definitely the future for sports broadcasts. So many ways it will undoubtedly improve. Better resolution, more choice of seats in the stadium. How about player/referee cams? 8) It will almost certainly become a ppv service. I expect we will be buying tickets for virtual seats in the future.

I was sat on the sofa. Just restart the app. That's what I did. It's hardly worth it though. It is very blurry and you're very far away. You can see the whole pitch, but you can't tell which player is on the ball really unless you know exactly how they run and what position they go to at all times. Hahaha! I did watch the first Kane goal from behind the Tunisian goal though. That was quite cool.

If you could be sat closer to the action it'd be better...too far away with how it is now and sat behind the goal is only good for things like penalties

Haters gonna hate...

Hmm I don't think they cover the Palistinian conflict with any justice... But I guess that's only me who doesn't know any better SMH

Sounds pretty grim, I can appreciate why you'd walk away with that opinion. You'd likely find it a more pleasant experience using your own HMD in a home environment. Sweating is an issue in particularly active games (e.g. Audioshield, Beat Saber, Box VR) but in many titles I can easily spend upwards of 6 hours without discomfort. I don't think it will go the same way as 3D as the interactivity and immersion is already so far beyond what is possible with a traditional display. I'm very positive about the future of VR and It should gain new fans as the technology evolves and improves.

Strangely the HUKD thread that mentions only the PSVR app is hotter then this thread for all the ops.

Unless I can watch it like if I was in the stands, I don’t care

Which VR headset and game did you try (shock) I own a Oculus rift CV1 I don't get any headaches Its only gets hot when you move around too much Maybe they didn't set it up correctly or was using a old headset?

Can't see the point in VR for a football match but VR works amazingly well for some games like sim racing.

You don't have to use one if you don't want too. This is just for folk who may want to try it and aren't Pringle fans and use butter only.

Actually, I correct myself, magnet button doesn't work with my Motorola. Down to my Motorola.

I better get the glue, empty pringles tubes, jam jars and an empty margarine tub and get one made...

Thanks for ostsing

Okay so England to beat Belgium in the third place play-off, still much better than I thought we'd ever do at the start of the tournament.

Do you have a link or something to print this

By they you mean Panama right!!

There's definitely going to be some 'takers' who will buy it, right?. (Not that I agree with it). But they know what they're doing ...

You could print of the version listed as A2 on A3 paper. This would get the final stuck-together version in A1 size.

A paper book is definitely better in my opinion too, but you can't really grumble with the Kindle one for 99p. ;)

Great price but cAn’t help thinking cooking is something where a paper book is better as it won’t go into screensaver mode every few minutes.

To all those who have 4k TVs that aren’t compatible, you can buy a Roku Streaming Stick+ for about £60 which offers iPlayer in 4K. Planning on selling mine after the world cup has finished.

I was worried about the limit to the first tens of thousands of people per game, but I've watched several games and never had a problem connecting, even joining part way through the match.

Legend, id have never known about this, 4K now :D. This should have happened before it started.

No the V6 box has UHD options

Agreed generally. Usually these films, in particular those featuring downhill skiing are highly self indulgent and feature the worst sort of headbanging music and Tibetan pipes and drums! For instance 'Into the mind' and 'All I can'

I'm glad some people have enjoyed watching this film. Posted this deal as this is a film (not a program) and to make people aware it is available on the i Player (usual in my experience for films and easily missed). As for licence fee's meaning its not "free": the vast majority of people have a TV licence so I'm just advising how to get the maximum out of it. That said a crazy number of people will pay a lot more and have Sky or a similar subscription service making the licence fee seem a pittance!

gholt: Mountain film free on BBC iPlayer! Well you sold me on it. Ever thought of going into advertising? :)

Thanks for the heads up. I will check it out.

Turns out it's a bloody good watch. The money is already spent making it. Honour the people who risked their lives bringing this to us and watch it.

Nope

A lot of British and American companies work on international movies, especially Bollywood...just because something is not English it doesn't mean the UK and America don't profit!

tom courtney is about the same age as albert and he's still working. http://www.itv.com/news/channel/2018-04-10/guernsey-politicians-attend-film-premiere-in-london/ in fact, a lot of actors keep on trucking until infirmity stops them performing. `Gandalf` is 78!! meet Edith Moore... At the tender age of eighty three, a gruff old woman (Sheila Hancock) sets out to try and capture a little of the magic she had as a young girl. The story is a tale of triumph over adversity as Edie embarks on the adventure of a lifetime. http://simonhunter.com/edie-movie

kamenitzabrit: Whatever happened to our own home produced films by the likes of Ealing studios, and featuring stars such as Albert Finney ? We do have things like Aardman Animations to fly the flag for us, but sadly our great British film industry has all but vanished. Will the Arabic film industry go the same way, or is there not going to be the obvious competition form Hollywood which our English language industry faced ? The UK film industry is huge, employing 2m people and growing by 5% pa. Albert Finney's last film was British made Skyfall in 2012. He's in his 80's now so probably not as active as once was.

Freer than a free track from Sky Tv....

Not free though is it. :| (cheeky)

Yes lots do have a license but that is the cost of this so called deal. With literally thousands of these non deals, if this is allowed without any question when the site is over run with them what grounds would we have to complain then? (I'm sure you would "moan" if this was to happen)

Many thanks for the heads up op. For those who have a surround sound capable player, the DVDA of this is well worth purchasing Although would need to possibly look at the offers on 'Discogs' or Ebay, as can be hard to find.( sorry if a bit of a specialist area)

Love the album, didn't know there a documentary so will check it out, cheers. For those into music related documentaries I can heartily recommend Searching For Sugar Man for those that haven't seen it, amazing watch :)

Exactly, are we now going to post every free movie coming out on iPlayer, Netflix etc?

I was careful to make no mention of "Free" in the original post (I have been here for a while)

I got some... Cheers!

gone up all gone at this price well done all who managed to get some. (y)

Good find OP!
