TECH

I had been using the Dolphin file manager to do this previously as it was easy to use but the problem was when I wanted to play a music file or view photos it would have to copy them to the machine first.

I used the information here to allow me to mount network drives as local folders which works a lot bettr as I can then browse through the content as if it was on my machine.

This app lets you download shows from iplayer so you can view them offline

to install it in ubuntu

wget http://linuxcentre.net/get_iplayer/packages/get_iplayer-current.deb
sudo dpkg -i get_iplayer-current.deb
sudo apt-get -f install

you can then run
get_iplayer
to get a list of the tv shows

then using the number next to the show you want to download
get_iplayer --get 123

additional commands at
