| 534682 | 2007-03-21 00:34:00 | Shorts and previews stutter, and episode downloads (half a gig each) freeze. Good on them for giving it a go, but it aint happening for my PC yet. Anyone out there able to make it work? | Chris Keall (10417) | ||
| 534683 | 2007-03-21 01:14:00 | I'm just watching the 1977 Top Town final (brings back memories) and it's going fine for me at full screen. I just wish you could resize the picture to the size that suited you instead of having to choose one of the preset sizes. | Tukapa (62) | ||
| 534684 | 2007-03-21 01:14:00 | Yep, last night I watched a free stream of Piha Rescue, I did not watch all of it , only a few mins of it to see what its like ( you need flash to watch the free streams) For those who do not know what Chris Keall is on about have a look here: www.stuff.co.nz & www.stuff.co.nz Here is the official website: http://www.tvnzondemand.co.nz |

| 534686 | 2007-03-21 02:19:00 | Trailers are fine for me too, I also notice that they use WMV my guess is it has crap attached to it :rolleyes:, I downloaded an ep of *shudder* Shortland Street *shudder* (212MB) only cause my Mum watches it and I am going to see what she says about it, when I went to play it, it had to upgrade some components on WMP 11... and it wants me to login or setup an account... I setup an account and it uses play points... :confused: Strange... :illogical EDIT Here is the E-Mail I just got from them: Thank you for registering Welcome to TVNZ ondemand and thank you for registering with us.

| 534690 | 2007-03-21 03:53:00 | Theres nothing stopping people buying xtra bandwidth. It quite cheap too if you are with the right ISP Curse Xtra and there ability to provide extra bandwidth or lack thereof. The $90 dissconnection fee is looking good about now. |
