Air Video Server is fantastic. Had it for a couple of years now. Bargain for the quid I paid for it.

Air Video is great but you need to run the server on a PC not a NAS. AVPlayer supports AC3 but not streaming. You're right that most apps don't have AC3 due to licensing issues. If you're willing to have a PC on then use Air Video.

Works well when lying in bed with my ipad/iphone. PC is on pretty much 24/7 so no worries here

Sky have just updated the Sky Go app with a new interface, a download feature and iPhone 5 support.

Anyone know of anything that will record vids from facebook (app or web version)?

Best part of that is you can now register 4 devices instead of just 2. You can also watch on 2 devices at the same time!

Anyone know of a good Picross-type game on iOS? The original seems to only be on Nintendo DS.

Hi all,

I need an app/website recommendation. At the moment if I browse the web at work and find an interesting article I'll email myself the link. I figure there must be an app I can use that I can email and it'll add it to a list of things I need to look at or do? Checking my email for a list of stuff is a bit basic and not very flexible.

I was thinking maybe Evernote or something like that might work?

Thanks

Grab "Ticket to Ride Pocket" whilst it's free.

Firstly, if it's mainly text you're interested in with a few pictures (i.e. not video / flash contect) then use Instapaper. You can use a javascript bookmarklet to save things from any browser, phone, tablet.

You can then either access them via the free Instapaper website or the excellent iPad/iPhone universal apps and read them offline if you desire.

I'd recommend Instapaper first, but if you decide that's not for you or need multimedia content then using the Chrome browser on your iPad/iPhone and your home PC you can synchronise bookmarks.
