Just bought another 4K Firestick for £26 (lowest price ever) that allows slide loading before they get discontinued in a few days. I will be setting up my parents with IPTV and hope once setup it won't need me on-site to fix things because I live a 3hr car trip away!

Surely they will discontinue the older model like they previously have? That's my guess anyway.

Btw I've settled for Tivimate as my IPTV guide, once I start hiding the stuff I don't want it s but ms to work better and the other one is slower and kept crashing on my Fire sticks.

doing that would kill their sales in that kind of product . Lets be real the majority either already own on or will want one to access illicit material. It is still I linux operating same as the android based devices. I dunno if we will see vega jailbroken but they never thought IOS would be crack able but that did not last long. We will see though . It makes no real odds to me either way though

We can only hope they keep being produced but there are plenty of alternatives.

We could do with an IPTV/ Dodgy box topic but I'm not sure if Paul would allow it?

I think you had the right idea of sourcing it yourself. Talking about technology isn't illegal.

Have you had better results with your trial of the service or is it still iffy your end?

I took it off yesterday it was irritating me. I don't like to trim down a playlist. I couldn't reason with it.

It expired this morning anyway so no more testing.

A replacement gas hob (Beko £119) and a new fan oven (Logik £159) from Currys.

Delivery and fitting of the gas hob added on another £140, no option to collect from their local store.

There were slightly cheaper places, but none offered the gas hob installation below £200!!!

Topcashback would have given 3% cashback and you could have bought with Currys gift cards that would have given you a further 5% saving, just something to consider for everyone. (I feel like an Everup saleman but the app really works).

I brought some hair clippers on eBay 2 years ago which had a 3 year care package on it. Today I decided to give a replacement a go because I had brought a better lithium clipper. At Argos the lovely lady checks out the terms and says pick something so I thought she would swap it over to something better so I picked out a lithium clipper. She says ok, goes back to the till and says I'll refund the return then open a new purchase. Nope :no:

Returned clipper https://www.argos.co.uk/product/7996...gyMTExNDc4NDQy

Lithium https://www.argos.co.uk/product/7727...gyMTExNDc4NDQy

I did try sweet talk her into giving me the lithium clipper but she politely declined. Oh well I got a refund which I shouldn't have got to be honest. The care pack was for a replacement or Argos vouchers. She put it back on my card happy days.

Over £20 off in Lidl using their 10% off "prize" with their app.
