Long time readers will realize that I seldom provide links
to third party value added applications or commercial offerings. However, occasionally
I find out about something that I deem may be of value to broadband (high
speed) Internet users in the Algoma District.
My colleagues at Northland Consultants recently
sent me a link to an application and product I feel may fit my referral criteria. The product is called NightShift
and applies to users who are still stuck with Xplornet satellite service as
their primary means of connecting to the Internet.
The concept of NightShift is that it uses a WiFi router and
memory stick to download and record Netflix shows during the unrestricted off-peak
hours. The product site claims that once recorded, the show can be played back as
HD without buffering.
There is a monthly charge for the service but some users may
find it worth the cost.
