Can't get into it - @SimCityAT

I know the feeling.  It's a bit slow at first but it gets better by episode 3. 


It reminds me of a Guy Ritchie movie.  Some of the characters are straight out of his playbook/style.

I've been waiting for this one.  Thanks for the tip.  But I do wonder if its time has passed, given the Trump victory etc.

p.s. Civil War is not showing up on Netflix in HU.  I searched for it as well.  Must be an AT only thing.  I'll get it another way.

I must remember to change my VPN to Hungary and check their films out.

We do have a "Films in Hungarian" section.   Some of them are OK but nothing to write home about.   The dubbed soundtrack is appalling usually.  Very stilted and amateurish and unsync'd and even wrong.  I'm usually watching foreign language films using the subtitles.   


I don't know if it's on Netflix, there are some absolute classic HU movies - the one I liked the best was called .   It's set in the Hungarian metro system.  Worth checking out.  The director went on to bigger things in Hollywood.


I refuse to pay for VPN providers right now.  Some web sites are wise to the addresses and block them.  Mainly I was using VPNs to watch the BBC and ITV but since I lost my own personal VPN in the UK (it was set up on my equipment at my late Dad's place), I've realised, it probably wasn't worth it as the TV shows are quite rubbish and I don't miss them.

I use my VPN, for Netflix, to watch the USA and UK. Also for Tubitv.com.

I have IPTV, so rarely watch iPlayer or ITVX.


It's on all the time for security as well.

The geo-location in general is a real nuisance for me.  I want to get to some UK sites as I have things I do there but some block or get confused.  I can get around it but it's fiddly for me to do. 


I could make a permanent link to the UK using a VPN provider but then the others here would end up being restricted here. We have much better bandwidth here now.  It was always a problem if the family wanted to do say, 2 x video conferencing and 1 x gaming at the same time.   It just couldn't handle it. We only had a cable TV supplier for Internet.   We dumped that ISP (called PR Telekom). We've now switched to HU Telekom's fibre "1Gbps".  I put that in quotes because during weekends and holidays, it gets throttled back.  The biggest problem currently is trying to overcome the pathetic and restrictive Telekom equipment.     


iPlayer as a download is now stopped.  It's still usable to stream.  ITVx doesn't work on downloads as far as I remember.  I was using them previously mostly for the football to get the commentary in English.   We can see the game here usually but I wanted to see Lineker and guests etc commenting on the game at half- and full-time.

I use CyberGhoast for my VPN and can choose loads of different servers for each country. It also has a free 24 trial.

Thanks.  I might give it a go.

It's a niche interest for those of a certain age, but .  The latest one is airing on the BBC 4 and Iplayer if you can get it.  It'll turn up on YouTube.  This time, it's Patrick Troughton, the 2nd doctor getting the technicolour treatment.   He evolves to Jon Pertwee at the end and we find out his regeneration is a result of a Time Lords' curse (I believe).
