I picked up a Tsutaya HDMI stick, that lets you rent and buy TV/Movies from the large Japanese Tsutaya store.

The stick itself cost 6,000 yen and arrived in a couple of days.

Setup consisted of installing an app called "T-リモコン". Unfortunately it is pretty hard to find unless you can type in Japanese. In the end I used the PC browser to find the Apps. (Both Android and IPad).

To set it all up,


* plug in the HDMI-Stick and power it on (USB Power).
Proposed 2008 [[2008_Holiday]]
* change ipad/android wifi network to that of the HDMI-Stick
* Run the "T-リモコン" App which will find the HDMI-Stick.
* Change the HDMI-Stick's wifi to your home wifi.
* ipad/android wifi generally switches back to your home wifi, if not, do so.
* use the app to browse content, the TV will show things as well.


Most things have Trailers or Samples you can play.

GOOD THINGS:
Proposed 2014 [[2014_Holiday]]


* Device works well, movie wall to pick media is nice. Shows on both device and TV
Mum asked me to write down my experiences with having a child, so I did that, and for some reason carried on doing it even after she could no longer read them.  
* Playback works quite well. ~5s or so to start up, but playback in nice and crisp.


BAD THINGS:
[[birth]] giving birth in Tokyo as a foreigner.


* 80% of content is in JAPANESE, and ONLY in JAPANESE. Including movies (hobbit etc), and TV shows (Person of Interest)
[[year one]] first year of child rearing
* Content is pretty much the same as other services. Ie, no Comedy shows.
* Some buffering experienced, but it does recover reasonably.


I find it quite annoying that they would only have dubbed versions of content, when the easiest is to keep original audio, THEN add localised versions later.
[[year two]] second year


I was hoping they would have a bigger collection, including comedy shows since no other services in Japan carries comedy. Including Hikari-TV, Hulu.jp and Sky.
[[year three]] third year, toilet training.
 
[[birth two]] detailing the birth of the second child
 
[[year four]] first turns 4, second turns 7 months. Eye operation.
 
[[year six]] first goes to school at 6, and second is 3.
