Downloading 'stuff'

Is there a site where you can download films, docus etc.,
We had a look at IMB - but it says 'watch now'
We want to be able to watch through the TV - any advice would be appreciated

You can install an app in certain browsers that can help with downloading videos. There is a lot of choice with regard to say Firefox for instance.

Downloading films can be problematical owing to copyright issues. There ARE sites out there but these are under increasing pressure to close. There is also talk of internet providers having to provide information on what sites people have been viewing and using.

As Mark points out I am always nervous to download films in case the site isn't legal. I would guess places like amazon are safest bet for films etc.

Re: Downloading 'stuff'

You dig deep enough and it is surprising the number of full length films you can download or view on YouTube.

Full Length YouTube Search

There are plenty of apps that work with Firefox that can download these videos.
