    Does anyone have experience of video streaming from sites such as Netflix? If you have a slow internet connection, is it possible to buffer the stream onto your hard drive and play it back later at full resolution?

    Thanks Geoff

    As far as I know you cannot do what you want to do that, but you can capture Netflix streams and others too using 3rd party software. But do your research because many of the free software are adware or malicious due to the millions of people looking to do the same thing you want to do. (it's a hot target audience for the criminals who promote malware)

    This will show how to do it using VLC, which is a very good free audio-video media player with many built in tools.
