Good to hear from you. You’ll find a whole bunch of iPad enthusiasts in this Forum who are only too willing to help other iPad owners and to hear of their experiences. Don’t be afraid to post any questions you may have or use the ‘Search’ button near the top of the Forum web page. I usually find I discover one new interesting and useful piece of information about my iPad every day - and often not even what I was looking for!!
For streaming movies on your iPad you could look at the Netflix app in the App Store. Or Hulu - there's an app for that too.
Hope to hear from you soon with your thoughts about the iPad.
Have fun and enjoy your iPad
