Via the Macbook through a dvi --> hdmi cable. sweet! Just plug in the cable, drag firefox over to the TV display and hit the full screen button on iPlayer. Not the best quality, but then the feed is really fast, so I'll sacrafice a bit of quality for 'instant' streaming.

o for awesome

Friend of mine who I used to work with in NZ found this gem of NZ tv programming on youtube




David Tua, a NZ boxer, asking for an 'O for Awesome' on the Wheel of Fortune game show. Anyone know when this was aired? Looks kindof 1990's, but I'm not sure.

Some funny commercials from Cadbury featuring Creme Egg (mmmmmm) suicides :)



Found on Serious Eats

Outrageous Fortune

Outrageous Fortune, a NZ series (drama I guess?!) about a dodgy family in Auckland, is going to be showing in the UK soon. I saw a few episodes of the second series when I was in NZ last, and it was pretty good.
