Haven't installed it yet, but sounds good.

Both the sky box and iPad need to be connected to the same network for it to work. I don't have my boxes connected to the net.
 
Seems the Sky+ app only does all its magic for those with the new Program Guide. As I'm stuck on a Samsung box its magic is lost for me.
 
Used it last night - I quite like it.

I'm lucky as I've already got a Cat6 cable drop to the lounge (and then a ProCurve gigabit switch hidden under the cabinet) as the TV/Blu-Ray/HTPC/WiFi AP all need it, so plugging in the Sky HD box too wasn't an issue!

Anyone playing Airport City HD? It's a micro management game based around airports. A bit like simcity style games imo. My username is "Rp2000" if you want to add me as a neighbour.

Anyone know of any games similar to this (and free?).

Got bored after the week and changed the clock on my iPad to fast forward time/cash/fuel etc :)

Now I have done it so much I have run out of stuff to do.

I need to find a similar game to play.

AVPlayer has been updated to support 'hybrid' decoding of MKVs and AVIs. Meaning it can hardware decode the h.264 video even if it's in a non-Apple supported container which is pretty cool. Will improve battery life and performance.

Also means if you have an iPhone 4 or iPad1 you can now playback 720p MKVs. Gave it a try myself and it worked!

sounds cool. do u need a Jailbroken ipad to play mkv files?

ALso, are there any photo apps that can open raw files and edit them? Whats a good RSS reader as well?
