British Radio

There is a very good App for Apple products..Ipod, Ipad and also on a laptop or PC called TUNEIN radio. You can have the free App or pay a few $ and have the TUNEIN pro App which doesn't have adverts.
It is a marvel to have Radio 4 on in the mornings, even if its 5 hours ahead. You can also put in your favourites and listen to them later if the Station has the particular programme . Radio 4 has certain programmes , so for example you can listen to the morning news Today programme about 3 hours later than when it aired in the UK.

Netflix and Redbox 

Netflix is a subscription service to stream films to your pc, ipod, ipad or tv (via a wii box). It costs around $8 month and you can have it on about 3 devices at a time. Unlimited programes, films, genres..British TV series....life saver. I have it on a little ipod (WIFI enabled) and with an adapter lead, have taken it on holiday and plugged it into a TV and watched films etc when away.
It has a kids netflix and a general netflix menu to choose from and you can load your choices to watch later in a favourites box.

Redbox is a rental DVD and game booth that you see outside Giant, Safeways..all over the pl
ace. You can rent a new film for $1.26 a night and return it to any booth. Pay with your debit/credit card.
