You could via Airplay. Works well, we do it for the odd show we want to jointly watch :)

GHM you do need  one cable.

I use Apple TV especially for BBC Iplayer as I wanted to watch the entire Lark Rise to Candleford . I don't know if it was ever shown in Australia.

Series 3 of Downton Abbey starts soon in Australia.

Im looking forward to Downton. I found a series on BBCiplayer that I had never heard of here called bodies, it is a hospital set drama about an incompetent consultant obstetrician, makes for interesting viewing especially for nurses!

My wife enjoyed that show. Though they (BBC) scupered her watching it as they removed the second season she was watching. (Due to broadcast rights issues, it happens periodically. Another example is Alas Smith and Jones which initially had 4 seasons available here in Germany, but now only seasons 1 & 4)

Gave DD my old iphone as I got new one yesterday. My previous one someone gave me when I went to England so I had a non Apple unlock here  . My silly DD first thing she did last night was plug it is an upgrade the ios which means it has reverted back to its old carrier - I did tell her not too!!!!

Interesting. I renewed my 3G on my micro sim for my iPad. It cost $180 for one year for 12 GB but Telstra rolled over the $85 I still had on Last years account.

Amazing.

Gretchen, does that mean you have $180 + $85 for the next 12 months or did it cost you $180 minus the $85 to get the next 12 gb?

Ghm, aren't you tempted to say "I told you so".  Gert same here but I"m sure they did that last time I recharged about 9 months ago, maybe because there was still time to use up.

Telstra do that with prepaid phones and broadband. As long as you pay before the due date. At least they can do one thing properly.
