Tired of Waiting for Nick to Upload Eps. (A Rant)
 

I got so sick and tired of waiting for Nick to upload the latest episode, I bought the whole season on iTunes, but (evidently) you need WiFi (even on my iPhone?) to download these shows. However, I don't have WiFi at home, and I'm not going to camp in a McDonald's, a Starbucks, et. al., nor am I going to pay for cable (ever), because I hardly watch TV anyway.

Kiss my ass, Nickelodeon.

What a whiner. And cheapskate.

^^ Is this a bot?

You know if you have all of these potential solutions to your problem and you just decide not to do them I can't really feel your pain.

^^ Is this a bot? I've been wondering.

Would it be on itunes before Nick uploaded it, anyway?
Anyway, it's your rant. Hope you blew off some steam and realized it's not really a problem :)

Good one. You showed me.

I'm just saying. You stated a few solutions but kinda brushed them off. What do you want?

I'm about as much of a bot as you have dignity.

"Waaaaah, Nick owes meeeeeee. I'm too much of a baby to get cable or go to a wifi spot to get what I waaaaaaaaant."

You could always just watch it on illegal, seedy, torrent websites.....not that I condone it.

how can you not have access to wifi in 2012? you have bigger problems than Nick not putting the shows on their website, man

Wait, you specifically need wifi to download the shows? Or just internet? I'm confused. Are you saying you don't have internet at home?

Yeah, you don't need wifi to use iTunes at home... iPhones come with these little cables that let you transfer data from your personal computer.

He doesn't have internet other than what sounds like 3g/4g cell phone access.

He does have net access, just not wifi...

Yes, the shows on iTunes are in either HD or SD format in either regards the file sizes will be huge and just about all cell carriers do not allow those types of data transfers. You can't even download some apps because they are so big over the cell network.

If you don't have internet at home you can't download from your personal computer.

Look I am not defending the guy, if he bought an iTunes pass and refuses to get the content the way Apple (not nickelodeon) wants him to get it that is his choice. This isn't Nick's fault, this is Apple's and your cell companies issue.

Wow. This is so stupid. Nick will upload the episode eventually. Maybe your best bet would be to get cable/satellite. That way, you can watch the show like everybody else.

I said it was a rant; a few of you have been quite helpful, and I'm grateful for it.

Since I have the day off I am actually going to park it at a Panera Bread an' filch their WiFi. I'll probably have six cups of coffee and whatnot, and the girls that hang out there are usually pretty cool.

/end thread?

did TS mean u can download the ENTIRE season, or just the episodes that have been shown to us? its not like animated once a week like matt and trey and their cartoon right? or is it like the simpsons where its animated like months before or something

See this thread.

It shouldn't take too long to download the 5 episodes, especially is in SD. If you have the itunes pass it's not like you have to stream them. Download them to your laptop, phone, or tablet and go home. Shouldn't take more than 15-30 minutes or so.

Yeah I downloaded the 5 episodes shown so far in SD to my Kindle and it took me slightly less then 20 mins. Good luck!

As an aside, oen can get cable internet without getting cable TV. I'm using Charter and got it under the 29.99USD plan without phone or TV.

Ehh, don't be too sure. Viacom may have only allowed Nickelodeon permission to upload the first three episodes only.

This. Depending on where you live, there should be affordable options for internet. Unless you're one of the unfortunate that lives where there's only one ISP. In my area there's about 5 or 6 different companies I could get internet through, many of them have $20-$30 plans.

I was wondering about this. But I guess if they I uploaded all off them, buying them from I tunes would be rather pointless.

With the exception of the video quality, which is stellar.

I missed last Saturday's show because of a family weekend getaway and have to wait until Thursday night's rerun to see it. Why can't Nick just rotate the episodes as they air, meaning to take down the oldest and upload the newest? That way they still have just three episodes aired at a time, as Viacom is good at removing illegal content online. That's what CBS, ABC, NBC, and FOX do and it is pointless to just have the oldest episodes to watch as they can always get iTunes at that point.

Today I noticed eps 4, 5, & 6 are up on nick's site, in case anybody else has missed that. I missed the Baxter Stockman episode so it was a quick way to catch up!

I for one agree!

I'm thinking, that they will upload the episodes in three's.

Notce that they had, episode 1,2 and 3 up. let episodes 4,5, and 6 air, and then the took down episodes 1,2 and 3 down and put episodes 4,5 and 6 up.

since episdos 7,8 and 9 aired, they will probably take down 4,5 and 6 and put up the newer ones.

I don't know if this is still an issue for you but public libraries usually have free WiFi, and usually have more comfortable chairs than the local Starbucks... But no coffee so you really do have to pick your poison.
