Re: Anybody using Kodi to watch BBC and ITV catchup?

Found Kodi was too much faffing around and unreliable feeds so dropped it last year.

I just go direct with ExpressVPN for iPlayer, Netflix USA etc.

Watch most things using APK's though.

Great news. :thumbup:

Re: Optus Sport?

Look on the bright side of things. You no longer have to watch that dross team.

I think the Optus deal was 3 years so this is the last season then hopefully Foxtel will have sense enough to win it...

Re: Amazon incoming ...

Re: Amazon incoming ...

Re: Amazon incoming ...

Not surprising because they hardly have any products on the website.....yet.

Re: >55 UK pension payments timeline

Thanks for sharing the info Ebo.

I will be working on a Trivial Commutation very similar to yours soon. You have confirmed what I understood the tax position to be so much appreciated, thanks.
