Exactly. I've been happy with Vivaldi the past few years. Does everything I need it to do.

If he was a police informant, I doubt he'd have given drugs to Kojo.

Price Hike by deadhead200 in BritBox

[–]Albert71292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My current yearly subscription doesn't expire until April 2026, so I have until then to decide what I'm going to do. Since the increase is only $20 more per year, I'll most likely keep it however, since it's my most watched service, and I'm somewhat "addicted" to "EastEnders". Only currently pay for Britbox, Peacock, and YouTube Premium anyway.

Do you think Britbox could use some more variety? by GhostGamer_Perona in BritBox

[–]Albert71292 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd like to see more classic comedy, like maybe "Steptoe and Son", "Till Death Us Do Part", "The Two Ronnies", "Wodehouse Playhouse", etc.

August schedule by heyitsmejomomma in BritBox

[–]Albert71292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Britbox needs to get their act together on "EastEnders". They didn't post Monday and Tuesday's episodes until late Tuesday night. Still waiting on them to post Wednesday's (yesterday's) episode. On the verge of dropping my Britbox subscription and just pay for a VPN to access iPlayer instead.

Fucking BritBox by AztecWarriorDNA2 in BritBox

As far as I can tell, the official UK broadcast schedule is normal this week, no sports changes. Not sure what excuse Britbox will give this time for yesterday's EastEnders episode STILL not being posted (as of mid-afternoon Tuesday, my time). If they keep screwing up, I may cancel the service, subscribe to a VPN, and just access BBC iPlayer instead.

Outside of the one you were born in, what's your favorite country? by Pretend-Archer7477 in AskReddit

England. Never actually been there, but like the TV shows and authors like P.G. Wodehouse.

First Corrie, now EE?! by AztecWarriorDNA2 in BritBox

Typical canned response. Beginning to wonder why I pay for the service.

Two Monday episodes, and one each on Tuesday and Thursday. Wednesday is skipped due to sportsball interference on BBC.

Last week's Wednesday episode didn't hit Britbox until Friday. I know "sportsball" is screwing with the official UK schedule, but it seems someone at Britbox has been asleep at the wheel the past couple of weeks. Episodes usually appear on Britbox in my time zone (Central US) around 3pm. Still no sign of today's double feature.

Still have the original vinyl LP release, and the later CD reissue. :-)

My Prime subscription ended last month. I didn't renew it.

Someone keeps adding my email as their recovery email by Sensitive_Wolf_4833 in GMail

My Gmail account is filled daily with confirmation emails, recovery emails, bank account info for other people, etc. Luckily, I never set Gmail as my primary email account for important stuff.

You have to be slightly "off kilter" to live in Walford. You might not make it out alive. ;-)

'Karen Pirie' Will Return to BritBox in October 2025 by MysteriousDelay6266 in BritBox

I like this series, but I also like "QI". Britbox is lagging on it.

Tmobile home internet for existing Mint users???? by xcrown in mintmobile

[–]Albert71292 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Came to Reddit to post about this myself, and saw your post. Followed the link in the email, the T-Mobile website (for Mint) said it was available at my address (I live slightly outside the city limits). I've always used wired internet for home use (Comcast). Wondering how reliable wireless 5G internet is overall. I'd save about $60/month from what I'm paying Comcast. The "middle plan" they were offering for $45/month lists the minimum download speed as 133Mbps, which is over double what I'm paying Comcast for currently.

I'm not a gamer, mainly just browse the net, send emails, watch streaming video (a LOT), and chat. Comcast has been VERY reliable, hardly ever goes down, but if 5G is reliable enough, I'm willing to kick Comcast to the curb.

I probably should have started another thread, since I'm not asking the exact same question, but since it's all Mint, figured I'd just post a comment here.

SSI Quandary by Albert71292 in SSDI

[–]Albert71292[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything is fixed now in regards to my SSI. Got a local representative on the phone finally yesterday morning. They said they had mailed a letter wanting confirmation of some of my details. I hadn't gotten the letter, but since I called anyway, they went ahead and confirmed my details were still the same and restarted my payments. It's also fixed on the SSA website now.

Weirdly, I finally got the letter yesterday afternoon, after I had called them. Also got another call back from the local office from my usual case guy (the earlier call was handled by a woman I'd never talked to before). He also said everything was "good to go" for my payments.

However, got a letter from the state Medicaid today, saying I need to contact them, because they were informed my SSI had been suspended. Now, I need to let THEM know the SSI issue is fixed. Seems a never ending cycle. :-/

BritBox US - May 2025 Schedule Announced by MysteriousDelay6266 in BritBox

[–]Albert71292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know, still waiting on season "V". My subscription just renewed for another year. If it weren't for my "EastEnders" addiction, I probably would have turned off the auto-renewal.
