How To Watch CBC Live Bundle Outside Of Canada on iPhone

After much testing, CBC's live bundle worked flawlessly on my iPhone. I was able to watch today's hockey game and the quality was great. Hooking up the VPN was easy to accomplish and was set up in just 10 min or less. The new Vancouver VPN servers were lightening fast as I never once got any stop and go. So for all my hockey fans out there if you want to watch your favorite team play in this years NHL hockey playoffs this system is 100% working!

I actually pefered watching the game with the iPhone vs the computer because of two reasons. One the sound is great when you use headphones and second I like the portability factor. I was literally walking all over the house watching the game. Also with the ability to watch the game virtually anywhere I could head over to my local starbucks, jump on their free Wi-FI and sip my latte while rooting for my favorite team.

Live Demo of Netflix Working on a Xbox 360 Outside of the US or Abroad

Here is a live Demo of Netflix playing on my Xbox 360 Live Gold account. This is a great way for you to understand what the whole system looks like and the quality of videos. What really makes Netflix such a great feature is their ability to live stream on any selected show of your choice. It's called "Watch Instantly" and it's something that I'm really stoked to have in our family now. So enjoy the live demo guys and happy viewing.

Using a PLC with a VPN to stream to a Xbox 360 or WD TV Live

About a year ago a friend of mine told me about using a PLC to stream internet broadband connection to a home TV. At that time I had never heard of this type of technology and was amazed how it could be accomplished. All you had to do was plug one of the PLC boxes into your wall's power socket and connect a LAN cable from you router to into the provided slot of the PLC. Then with the other PLC box you plug that into the power socket behind your TV. Get a 2m LAN cable and insert that into your WD TV, Xbox 360 or PS3. What that will do is use your home's electrical wiring to stream your internet broadband to your chosen media device. It's extremely easy to set up and works great if you don't get a great Wi-Fi connection in your house. Also not all wireless connections will get the speed you need because of walls and obstacles in your house. With PLC's you can add one to any socket in your house giving you endless solutions. Trust me I was about to install a 30m LAN cable in the roofing of my apartment before I heard of these things.

Why use a PLC when say your Xbox 360 has built in Wi-Fi?

Good question, let me explain my experience of using both systems. At first when I got my VPN router I was stoked to use the built in Wi-Fi connection via the Xbox. For a few days it was working great and wasn't getting much lag at all but many times it would drop or not connect properly. After 20min of trying to figure out the solution I decided to go back to using a PLC. I was amazed that Netflix was actually working better and was not getting the crappy quality I was seeing before. Normally they wouldn't stream some shows in HD but with the PLC all shows were now 100% in HD. The reason why I think this was happening was because with Wi-Fi you have more obstacles to overcome and the overall speed drops dramatically by the time it reaches my TV. With a PLC you have very little interference and the connection is pretty much right from the router.

If you are interested in getting a PLC there is must read website that has just about every maker available in Japan, here's a link to Kakaku.com. One tip I read was make sure you can get a refund in case it won't work in your home or apartment. In some instances PLC's will not function properly, it will depend on your home's wiring system. Also make sure to not plug your PLC into the power bar, always use a direct socket.

Finally here is a really good video I found that explains in more detail about how a PLC works and how easy installation can be.

A PLC maybe not be what you're looking for but I just wanted everyone to know that there is an option out there that does work great with a VPN, Xbox 360 and Netflix.

Using a Pre-Configured VPN Asus RT-N16 Router with Xbox 360

Well I thought I would give you guys an update as to how my new VPN router is going. In one word it's simply AWESOME! First of all when the delivery from Sabai Technology came I was a little worried that it could be either too difficult for my dumb ass to figure out or it would just not work as planned. I started to set up all the wires and install the configuration settings from the instructions provided by Sabai. With in about 15 min I was up and running and could surf the net on my US IP with out a hitch. The set up was very easy to do and I truly believe anyone who has moderate computer skills could have this all set up with no problems.

Next was seeing how my Xbox 360 Live account would work and if I could access Netflix and ESPN through the main video section. I have to admit my fingers were crossed because there hasn't been much information on forums if this method works on Xbox as of February 2011. Navigated to Netflix and was very happy to no longer see the "We're unable to connect you to Netflix. Please try again later." message anymore. Now it said please copy these 6 digits and paste them into your Netflix account to active your console....YES!!! After entering the code and hitting enter things worked and now I can use Netflix and their Instant Que to instantly watch movies and TV shows. The only thing that I can't get are their DVD's that are sent in the mail but that's ok because there's enough content to keep my happy! Rumor has it too that Netflix actually wants to become 100% streaming and retire sending DVD's through the mail. For just $7.99 a month it's totally worth it and saves me from downloading all the time.

Next was trying to connect ESPN 3 to the Xbox360. This activation didn't go as well but get this, I can get regular ESPN but not ESPN3. It seems ESPN3 has certain broadband providers that they will only allow access for. But I'll take regular ESPN because the interface looks just amazing with Sports desk along with all the shows that comes with them.

One other feature that is unique to Xbox 360 is the ability to control your videos through either your Kinect or hand gestures. So for instance if you want to pause, fast forward or rewind your video's it's very easy to do so. Here is an example of how it looked with my VPN and ESPN.


So overall my new VPN router is doing exactly what I thought it would do with no problems to report. Of course speed is not blazing fast compared to my Japanese LAN.  Usually I'm accustomed to super high speeds but really when you're able to stream Netflix and ESPN into your home the family is certainly happy.
