DazBob Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) well, hang around til spaznob sees this and he'll advise think he downloads straight to his and sticks the lead from tab to telly Aye this is exactly what Spaznob does. I've got Utorrent on mine so download straight to the tab (onto the SD card). It's then just a case of plugging the tablet into my telly (via micro HDMI lead) and away you go. Same applies to any apps I've got on my tab, such as CatchUp TV, Netflicks, etc. I know very little really about tablets, but I do know that anyone wondering which one to get should think about what they're going to want to do with it before making a decision. For me the HDMI out is the best part of my Acer. The screen resolution on it is probably far from the best, but as a device I can fill with music/movies and take it anywhere and simply plug it into any telly that's got HDMI. It of course does all the other stuff I need such as xhamster internet. Edited April 30, 2013 by DazBob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Is it this one, Spacdick? http://www.groupon.co.uk/deals/national-deal/Retail-Outlet/20906786?nlp=&CID=UK_CRM_1_0_0_120&a=1664 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazBob Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Is it this one, Spacdick? http://www.groupon.c..._0_0_120&a=1664 Nah, not the same as mine. Can't see any indication of HMDI connectivity. Personally, I wouldn't get one without HMDI, but that's just my own preference. ... but if you're just going to sit there with it on your lap and have no intention of downloading filums and hooking it up to your telly then I guess it wouldn't matter.

C86 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I'm hearing these are all the rage now, stream sky etc. to your telly. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CH643A8/ref=as_li_ss_til?tag=bradlindsdigi-20&camp=213381&creative=390973&linkCode=as4&creativeASIN=B00CH643A8&adid=1EBK6J9F8311SAG6NBPQ&&ref-refURL=http%3A%2F%2Fliliputing.com%2F2013%2F05%2Fg-box-midnight-mx2-tv-dual-core-tv-box-is-made-for-android-xbmc.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan.m Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Download the films and drag and drop them onto the tablet. Get VLC player and play them through that. You can also buy a USB OTG cable which you can then attach a stick or SD card reader to and watch films off that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Reet, 9 or 10 inch tablet, mainly for internet usage, not expensive. Fire away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan.m Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Loads of Chinese ones about that are good but I was a bit wary of issues if it needed sending back. I want a 10 but went for a 7 in the end and have barely used my laptop since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want a 10 but went for a 7 in the end and have barely used my laptop since. Don't want a no-name one really. Got one for just under a ton for my daughter and it was shite, so I'm in the process of getting refund. I was thinking about the Nook HD+ for £179, any thoughts anyone?

DazBob Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Not at all In which case I'd not get an Acer like I've got. It's a great bit of kit but the display isn't HD. I'd also not get one of those Kindles either. The OS is absolute gash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Casino Posted May 28, 2013 Moderators Share Posted May 28, 2013 Check out the Acer a210 I think the nooks OS is severely bastardised Acer won't have fcuked up the OS Up to you at the end of the day - check out the reviews of both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Albert Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) I'm not sure I need HD, but that Nook is reduced to £179 on their site and £169.96 after cashback. Doubt I'll get better value elsewhere. Have a look at Tesco and Argos outlets on eBay, they sell 'refurbished' Samsung, Motorola tablets for around £200. Bought a refurbished Xoom myself a couple of months back, it was brand new. They tend to be store returns rather than broken and then refurbished, a years warranty with them too.
