    If you have ADSL then you can rent movies through Bigpond. They offer movies in low res or HD for those with differing download speeds.

    Cost on average $6 each and they have a wide and varied selection of movies, usually they have on offer about 5 or 6 new movies each week and they have a library of many hundred with old ones dropping off as new ones come on.
    Cheers,
    Terry

    It's easy to work out what's a cam and what's a DVD/blurry rip.

    Thanks guys but it sounds to me like these online options (other than torrents) are streaming, not download.

    Stupid question, but does streaming come with a DTS or HD sound track?

    If its a new release then it's usually a TS Cam, , another way you can tell is when the fat lady stands up and her silhouette walks across the bottom of the screen. The movie is is dark or you hear some one coughing or sneezing.
    We DVDs come out, yes there are some DVDs, that are ripped and converted to other formats.

    Streaming, my son wanted to see a Westcoast match, it wasn't televised, so he found a TV station in the UK that was showing it live, so he streamed it from the UK site, a second or 2 delay and the pic was 8/10

    I use a mix of apple TV, quickflix (both online streaming and DVD by post), youtube and ABS Iview.

    Happy to advise on setting up any of the above. A smart TV and a home wifi network is necessary though..

    I run an i7 laptop HP Pavillion with a Radeon graphics card, think it is a HD 7700 or higher.
    Run the HDMI straight into the TV.
    For audio the TV will have an HDMI out into whatever system you are running.

    Download the bluetooth remote for my smart phone on both phone and laptop to operate the media player of choice via the phone on the laptop, I always prefer VLC media player, with codecs.
    *Laptop also comes with a small remote, but not enough functions and only works with windows media player.

    And I head straight to isouhunt.com for all my torrent needs, sorry other posters but it really tops piratebay in my opinion.

    I have 2 terabytes of movies, and get most of them in high resolution, some not so good, but when your download averages over 80mbps I can select a movie of choice (I always choose DVD rips as a minimum) they take 10-15 minutes and then I can watch it.

    I also have a terabyte of TV series, watching Shameless at the moment US version, it is bloody brilliant.

    With this setup I get 1080p movies, with HD sound.

    *All free. Yes free.
