    Maybe you havent scrolled the left hand side? (the channel list)?

    Thats all I can think of as I see the expanded list of channels on my 4.2.1 ipad. BBC News FTW!! Why oh why cant I simply pay for a service like this, its ridiculous that they dont have that model worked out yet.

    No, I had scrolled over. They weren't there yesterday, but they are today. Weird.

    I agree with you. It's funny that free to air channels don't just stream their service online anyway, I mean its in their interest to have as many viewers as possible. They could just launch an app like the way radio stations etc do. Nothing to stop premium channels doing the same for a fee.

    I guess we'll have to make do with filmon etc for now.

    I've noticed that those stations disappear from time to time. I had presumed it was a case that they were gone in the day time and there at night.

    To be honest the only improvement I'd make to the app would be the ability to edit the channel list. It's an amazing app but those stations make the ipad something that you can't exactly leave lying around in case it fell into little hands, or even big easily shocked hands!

    I've found the list freezes on me if i forget to have the app in landscape mode to begin with. Changing from portrait to the landscape mode which it prompts you to do messes it up.

    Thanks for that tip! It's been really bugging me that I couldn't scroll down the list, but I guess that's why.

    They seem to have moved those channels to the end of the list in their own folder labeled 'Adult Channels' now, that's an improvement I suppose.

    Has anyone used omnigraffle for the ipad? Looking at creating a form for my business that could be signed by clients when out and about.

    Just been looking for FilmOn in the app store and can't find it. It's hardly gone, is it?

    Ah lovely. Thanks Liam.

    Air Video...rocks!

    I ended up going for an app called "Form Tools" over "Omnigraffle". You can import PDFs, insert text boxes, tick boxes & sketch areas. I've imported my companies work order form, it'll be pre-filled out before I get to a clients and I can just use a sketch area to have them sign it. Hopefully it works well. :)

    Some new apps I've got which are good.

    - Rage HD
    - Aweditorium

    If you like playing music the Smule stuff is good too.

    Yes looks like most channels are working again, on a couple I get the error with "video could not be loaded ......."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,041 ✭✭✭✭adox


    All working for me.


    The adult channels have been grouped into one folder, so you need to click on that to enter the channel list for them.

    Maybe this cause some issues when they were changing the layout?

    I only started using it last week and were in 2 groups I think from middle of the week.

    Re film on

    I'm finding it's not working at all and I'm getting that "you are not authorized" message on my iPod on 4.1 but filmon is working perfectly on my iPad 3.2.2 and has been all week.

    Maybe it's something to do with the iOS your using?

    On Ipad iOS 4.2.1
    On Iphone 3g 4.1

    Got the game "Steambirds HD" there last night and even playing the tutorial makes me happy I spent the 1.99 euro. Great turn-based game of dogfighting bi-planes from the steampunk milieu.

    Civ Wars HD is also fun.

    I just got the Djay app, it's pricy for the iPad at €15.99 but pretty cheap for what it is, would be a lot more expensive on PC or Mac. You can use it to mix manually if you want, and the audio can be split to preview a second song on headphones. It also has an automix feature which would be very handy for parties.

    Splashtop Remote Desktop!

    Brilliant app. I'm running my windows laptop from my iPad. Try out the free version to try it out.

    I have to second this. It's a fantastic app. It's now also available to use with Mac as well as PC. It's well worth paying for.

    Awesome app.

    I also have vnc, but splashtop is much better as it also has audio.

    I can now watch Hulu desktop and 100's of movies/tv shows on the ipad from my mac. sweet
