Terabyte perhaps.

I have no idea...

Thanks diggit....

Goody

1 TB= 1024 Gigabytes=1024,000,000,000 bytes
It's all a bit tooooooooo much isn't it.

I hope this helps you out
1TB is 1000 gigabyte so i have thousands of songs on that one
2TB is 2000 gigabyte so i have 500 movies on that one

Now I am confused, is it a 1,000 or 1,024?
Actually it doesnt matter because I would still have no idea. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

The unit converter says it is 1000 even

Oh one of them stick things,

I don't have one..

And I don't no how to put movies or music onto one,

I a music thing in my car, it has about 15 songs on it, I don't use much as I am sick of hearing some of the songs,

Do you need a laptop to play them?

GB (gigabyte) and TB (terabyte) are units of measurement for storage size. Another common measure is MB (megabyte). 1024MB = 1GB and 1024GB = 1TB. So for instance, a 500GB hard drive has approximately 1/2 the capacity of a 1TB hard drive.

The exturnal hard drive is about the size of a packet of smokes
It can be plugged into a laptop or a computer or straight into a tv as long as it has a USB port

Oh OK,

I do have a external hard drive,

Will have a look at the TV in the caravan,

But I don't have any movies on it,

Think I have only got pictures, documents etc ,

Just to add confusion to your confused state.
It is both. Depending on how you look at it.
Computers use binary (1024 GB = 1TB) and we use decimal (1000 GB = TB)

That should be clear as mud now

Vast is good.
Write down your smart card number, and just before leaving internet coverage, hit the card up.
When you get out bush and set up, the card will be active.

If you are permanently out there, get Sky Muster, which is NBN's Satellite internet service. (You will need a remote address to get it installed)
If you are proficient at setting up dishes, you could remove the Sky Muster dish and make it portable, take it anywhere, they wont know.
When we were on ADSL here in Cairns, I got faster speeds up at the lease!!!!

When I backup my pc to an EHD does the information just update the previous download and add any new stuff or does it simply download the entire pic info again?
I have so much info on my pc ATM and don't want to lose it.
Any help would be appreciated.

Did full time on the road between 2010 and 2015

Yes reception for TV is poor in quite a lot of places

If you really want to watch TV , as mentioned VAST is the go , you can get a package with a portable dish , vast box for $700

You buy a card for vast about $30 a year

In WA , Vast is different in that you have to buy a separate card to work in WA .

As others have said , dvds or storage devices worked for me

I see internet & phone reception as more of a need & beer :beer:

The TV has a USB port,

So if I had movies on a USB stick that means I can watch movies?

Am I on the right track with this?
