Get this boys, drama in the NZ barra scene. Nice F6, With a fully built crate engine from a certain barra specialist. All the fruit, On the dyno for the run in tune, loses oil pressure. Tuner shuts down, engine comes out and sent of to the reconditioner for analysis finds the builder has beed blasted the inside of valve cover for some reason? And didn't clean out the baffles and all the abrasive went through the engine, and here we are.

Does anyone pay to watch all the shows on Motortrend? I've read a few comments that you need a VPN in Aus to get the channel. I have NFI how to do that. Would there be a way to watch thru my laptop/wifi or thru our Telstra TV box. I watch a lot of channels on Youtube but really missing Roadkill, Dirt Every Day and Hot Rod Garage.
Yea I wasted money on that.
Only their main shows are available in Aus.
Street outlaws, gas monkey and all those others won't work due to "licensing issues".

No one has to pay for anything online.

 

Some of us pay so we don't have to pay for the stuff we want to see (country/IP locked)

 

VPN's make it appear to them as if you're in another country

 

Laptop/WIFI works - Telstra box doesn't

 

Nord or Witopia are the ones I'm using

 

Load the client - pick the country and connection you want to pretend to be at and go from there.

 

Everything on the internet will believe you are logging in from that point.

 

Is youtube filtering IP's for content?

 

edit: or are you just asking about a Foxtel channel you don't want to have to pay to subscribe to?

 

Motortrend used to put all their content on youtube for free, about 1 month after they released it on their premium channel, Motortrend on demand. At the start of the year they stepped away from youtube and now can only pay for the subscription and stream thru the website. https://www.motortrend.com/  https://subscribe.motortrendondemand.com/

 

I'm not exactly sure how the streaming works. But comments I've read from ppl in Aus are saying that you need a vpn for the streaming to work properly. Not sure why it doesn't work here, I'm not full bottle on this stuff, not even 1/4 bottle actually lol

I'm happy to pay for it if I have to, just thought someone here might have more of an idea best way to go about it.

Yeah, If they country lock some content a VPN should work to get around it.

 

Some places go as far as checking against your country with your payment method etc - would need to confirm they don't do that before being 100% confident.

PVR finally died
Was looking at options for recording free to air
Discovered my tv supports recording to a HDD
Tried it with a USB flash drive
Worked a treat
Bought this today, plugged it in, fired it up.
Recording and time shift, sweet as
Approx 1000 hours of recording

Mrs BCB will love me
Now she will be able to record Wimbledon on 7
