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.

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....

You can get USB Firesticks or Hoku that plug into the side of the telly and allow you to access Netflix and watch stuff on the big screen but I forgot you had that big Mac. Looks ideal.

I have never seen the USB socket on our TV, no wonder :frown2: I expectant extension lead to keep at the front would be OK ?

No, Why?
The USB socket is at the back of the TV I can´t keep turning the TV round its buddy hard enough connecting anything to it to start with.

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.

This TV is nearly 42 inches and for the sitting distance away from the TV was correct in 2006 :nerd:

Just watched the last episode of Anne with an E, I cried just as much watching it on my 27" mac as I would have done watching it on Heikes big TV :grin2:

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

I have found `The Spy´ and about to start watching. I finished watching `Anne with an E´ which I enjoyed immensely.

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.

I never understood your sentence thats all. Is that a photo of the back of your actual TV? If so it has all the sockets, HDMI, USB, ethernet etc. You could plug a laptop in via HDMI or a USB Firestick to get Netflix etc. It looks like it already has some kind of hard drive attached.

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".

Not the back of MY TV barry its the picture in an advert for my TV.
The old Samsung laptop is already plugged into the HDMI, but the Netflix is on the mac, I don´t think I can have it on the laptop as well.
Or maybe you know different.

If you have a subscription I would have thought you could access it on any device. I think you can have it on up to six but only in use one at a time. This might help. https://help.netflix.com/en/node/23931

I will check it out later, worn out at the moment, had a long walk and then long talk with a friend in Spain on WhatsApp AND cleaned the oven, I think the water has been turned off to the dishwasher by a strong hand because I can´t turn the tap on, probably Erick the body builder :frown2: Can´t find the screwdrivers I set aside for myself, its going to take me 3 months to get organised from 3 months away.
