Re: RAI television license

I would have a look at the 4k Max reviews ("1" ratings). Content for 4k is lacking, but it should be faster as the cpu and memory are better. It seems odd to me that the BBC make it so hard to watch...

Re: RAI television license

Re: RAI television license

Re: A Wonderful Site!

Well done!
Think Pulaski's idea to convert would be your best option, I've used Handbrake, Anyvideo and VLC in the past. They all are free but have so much functionality it can be too much if all...

Re: How much do you pay for firewood?

Obviously as we have not been there since 2018 the information is out of date, but it highlights possible big variations... We were paying 12-14/quintale back then. Strange thing is it was that price...

Re: About Queen Elizabeth

I agree about ripping off lots in Empire days... but we were likely only getting back some of the stuff the Romans took from all over the world! Of course, they also give us Hadrian's Wall which...

Re: About Queen Elizabeth

Not a monarchist at all really, but I have to admire anyone who makes it to 96 and is still smiling… My biggest regret is the media coverage I knew would hit us and boy has it! Then there is the talk...

Re: Can I fly within europe?

Re: Tax on Pensions in Italy
