I've had a DHL parcel sitting at UK customs for 7 days and no info. I think I will have to pay duty as over £135, guess we have to thank Brexit for these delays.

Anyone use a Nvidia Shield for streaming HDR content, would you recommend it?

Thanks, a tad further north in Yorkshire. Just would like some real end user experience when streaming 4K/HDR contents both from internet and local hard drive sources. My HTPC and AV receiver are old and cant handle 4K/HDR sources, 1080p is fine, but now have a LG OLED TV so would like use its HDR capabilities. Everyone says online that the Shield is best and HTPC is dead. I would have to get a new cpu/mobo and AV receiver so the Shield seems a better value option, if it works. I dont want a Firestick 4K.

After 14 years I've retired my Panasonic plasma TV for a LG OLED C1. It's a quantum leap in picture quality, even with standard HD sources. and then UHD is amazing. You do need to adjust the picture settings as they are too blue out of the box but plenty of online info to help . Blacks are even blacker which was why I went for plasma and not LCD back in the day. Wonder what will be around in another 14 years time to beat OLEDs.

I had a similar experience my Panasonic plasma died (I'd guess it to be the same age as yours) and it was an amazing set, to the point I thought I was going to be disappointed. I bought a 58" Panasonic 902B (ex top of the range LED, before the great OLED invasion) and my god, it kicks sand in the face of the plasma ten times over.

Anyone used a forwarding agent? I want a part from USA but they wont ship to UK, so thought a forwarding agent like stackry could be an option. Part is 30USD.

Ordered BT fibre broadband which is on offer at 29.99pm with 100 reward card and 80 quidco. Nice savings (well rc funds) and faster speed.

Installed a DAB radio recently in car but was only using FM until fitting a Kinetic splitter to use existing roof aerial. Pleasantly surprised how good DAB reception is localy, better than FM and more choice. Will see how it goes on long journey.

"If he wants to prove he's a man, we should do it out of the car face-to-face" yeah saw that, proper made me laugh. Love to see that one in the car park behind the pits. Hair pulling at dusk! I still maintain Vet should have just admitted he was too close and misjudged it. This isn't an insurance claim, just admit you got it wrong.

Do they make some bricks 10x as hard on purpose? A 5 min job to out up extra shelves in man cave takes 3 times as long, half bricks are done in quickly in seconds, rest take ages. Would a SDS drill be better?

This brand from Screwfix isn't half bad and pretty cheap.

I bought a Ryobi SDS cordless as I already had batteries and charger. That's the big problem with cordless the batteries and charger can be really ££££ if you have to buy them just for one tool.

Anyone use these Fitbit things? Are they any good, reliable, accurate?

The bottom line is cost, the more you spend 'should' get you a product which records quality data, an app which is well written and the user can understand it. Loads of reviews out there on YT and in the press.
I like the Garmin Virofit for many reasons, first and foremost it's waterproof, how Fitbit thought it was okay to produce a product which was not is beyond me . The batteries last for roughly six months, cheap to replace, so no recharging issues etc.....

When using Activity tab, it keeps showing many new updates but they are multiples/copies of same ones. This has been happening since yesterday, so some gremlins are having some fun and appears not to be only issue.
