Thank you Jay.

Thanks again Polli.

Thanks Polli - perhaps your suggestion of disabling hardware acceleration in the Chrome websettings before HDMI would be a good start at this time Now, AppleTV looks interesting? I am a first-level Apple fanboy, I love both my iPhone and my iPad but nothing beyond that at this time - I will need to research what it can do for me.

Hi All, a lapsed Hubber here. I ditched DSTV two months ago. Motorsport coverage was my main reason for persevering for so long. I subscribe to F1TV on my laptop and have rather used that for F1 viewing for the last year or so (albeit with some stuttering/buffering transmission from time to time?? I'm using Cool Ideas Vumatel 100mbps home fibre.) Now that I have ditched DSTV I was hoping I could simply watch F1TV onto my now oldish Samsung Smart TV (Gen 4 I think), but not so; F1TV is not listed in the TV's Smart Apps, and when I find the website in the TV's Web Browser it will not allow me to log into my account in the F1TV app. I have tried linking my laptop to the TV with an 8K HDMI cable but experience more frequent buffering than when watching on my laptop (coincidence or technical, I don't know?), so that experience was not great. Dipping my toe into Google I see talk of Google Chromecast, Amazon Firesticks and suchlike - I don't want to go down this rabbit warren unless I have some concrete advice or information, it's beyond my limited tech knowledge and experience! I will be grateful for any information or advice - how do Hubbers watch the F1TV App on their smart TVs? Any suggestions?

Give that pilot a Bells...or two

Congrats to Mr & Mrs Admin - may you be blessed with many years of love and happiness.

Go for the Bialetti Wayne...

Thanks all for your input on Customs Duty. It's still in the dream phase, but one has to plan in advance...

What Import Duty is payable on bringing in a watch purchased overseas? Either via online shopping, or declaring in the red queue at ORT?

Shameful display not wearing their medals..!!

Looking forward to your new thread.

So, how are you getting on?

I wonder why there is no SA Motorbike Festival at Kyalami this year? Months back, if not late last year, it was slated for 31 May to 2 June. I thought the last two were rather good. Promoter problems? Or has the market tanked?

Wow, I've never heard of Nathalie Merchant before (the Hub keeps giving..) and a quick look at a You Tube link makes we want to find out more.

I never use full heat. Put hot water, nearly boiled, into the Moka pot reservoir and place it on low/medium-low, and then be patient. Do something else whilst keeping eyes and ears on the pot. Remove from heat once it starts making bubbling noises. Done within 5 minutes.
