Absolutely correct. I was referring to videos/films that I'm watching that are hosted by plex. Apologies if I didn't make that clear. The videos that it hosts for me do not have adverts.

Thanks for the very detailed advice. Definately some interesting things to follow up on. I got the plex pass when I bought the shield but never got it to connect remotely, but due to them putting ads in their films, I'm now thinking to switch to something else.

Great, I'll repost, thanks. What's a mesh network btw?

Emby sounds interesting, thanks.

Thanks. I couldn't get plex to run from 'off site', it was probably something that I wasn't doing properly.

I'm not sure if it was the vpn or not, but it never connected even though I set the tunnelling like it said.

Leather strop for sharpening

I'm genuinely curious here - really? As someone who always has to mess with the old fashioned 'steel' (mind your hands cus there's no guard on it!) sharpener, are they better? Honestly, heard of them, never used but interested.

Funny, but I see soo many kids walking to school with their worldly belongings in their back packs! Worse is they're hanging soo low - at least get a hip strap. Life lessons I guess. In my day we had lockers in the school.

I'll fuckin bet someone came out singing ! Why do we allow this to continue to happen to penny shareholders? And workers alike.

Now, a Sony Bravia - what size and price may I ask ? And how difficult is it to remove all the shit ad functionality from it ?

I've had my 32" for like 8 years but definately looking for the same quality piece of kit.

Excellent! Glad you found what you wanted - I'll bookmark this for when I have to replace my trusty Bravia! 👍

I'm dreading replacing my dumb tv, but can confirm that the nvidia shield was the best thing I ever bought for entertainment: just sideload your apps and off you go.

Take the cable out of the tv, plug it into your android box and hdmi to the tv.

Can recommend STN, cloudstream and plex.

Good luck.
