Maybe I'd better explain my needs ( or hopes)
Firstly, we record lots of stuff on Foxtel IQ and have a DVD recorder so can creat DVDs from Foxtel then play on the van DVD. That I can do but it does tend to be laborious, particularly when I haven't removed content for a while.
Secondly, we have iPads and Samsung tabs which could be used to access movies and the Foxtel stuff
but only if it's a simple process . Anything more difficult than burning lots of DVDs is far too much of an overkill for me.
Thirdly, and I hesitate to admit this, I have never downloaded a movie to my laptop etc so if there's some good advice on doing this, I'll follow it.
And lastly, I've got Edup and can get it working on iPad but not on Samsung and no idea why but not really bothered.
My problem is moving content from Foxtel iq to a hard disk in a format that I can access from iPad etc.
If I'm hoping for too much, so be it but if it's possible I'll give it a go...within reason....but if it's not I'll stick with what I understand.
I categorically refuse to retrain in IT and no longer regard beating the problem as an intellectual exercise. Been there, done that.
A simple life is much more relaxing!
I'm not disputing that you competent computer buffs know what you're doing and good luck to you but I've come to the conclusion that if it's doable, if it's simple and if it works it's fine. If not, I'll let the world pass me by and concentrate on gardening and fishing!
And yes....I've just spent about 15 useless hours trying to sort out multiple computer problems which ended up with a complete reinstall. I lost the network, I lost the gateway, I lost the files I had ready for the taxman and I certainly lost my sense of humour.
So I'd love to hear if there's a simple non stressful solution and I really am grateful for any suggestions, as long as I can understand them.
