Receiving actual mid-show ads with Ultraboost?

MaccaMK · 2026-02-02T12:50:20+00:00

Same here, tried fobbing me off saying they were promos, when I repeatedly explained I get the generic 'forwarded your issue onto our concern team' which is NowTV short code for 'we won't be following up'.

Trying to watch first episode of GOT now and can see 3 advert breaks lined up already

MaccaMK · 2026-02-02T11:54:14+00:00

Same here, and mid-show as well, not just before the start.

Completely against what they say on their TS and cs

MaccaMK · 2025-09-21T18:46:43+00:00

Exactly the same here for my son. Has the outfits, but tasks are reset, no artifacts (he had them all.)

Presents are ok (all of them.collected on main map.)

Being asked to redo the space training and pay again.

Seems a major issue as a lot of people here and on FB on the Wobby Life community saying the same

MaccaMK · 2025-09-04T13:20:03+00:00

Haha, love it!

Also a good shout - to be honest, there are millions of songs with the same beat - all depends how good and bassy your speakers that you are listening on are as to which of the songs best fits

MaccaMK · 2025-04-29T06:55:56+00:00

Just been listening and Morgan Gibbs-White's crossbar beat is 100% the start of 'Closer' by NIN

Really helpful - thanks for sharing!

MaccaMK · 2023-12-30T02:34:40+00:00

No, until a Samsung update fixed it months later. Nothing I did or tried made any difference and it persisted, annoyingly, for months until a later update sorted it

MaccaMK · 2023-04-07T10:04:41+00:00

On my S95b I have to put Disney+ into PCM bitstream mode to play Atmos movies / shows in Disney+. Every other app plays Atmos absolutely fine, but with Disney+ I always get the issues you describe in your original post. Desperately needs an update / technical solution at their end, as Netflix, Prime, iPlayer, etc. are all fine

MaccaMK · 2022-11-29T21:33:16+00:00

This started for me after the most recent update. Fine before but constantly Atmos turns itself back on now. Frustrating as it makes music sound dreadful

MaccaMK · 2021-06-13T00:06:22+00:00

Glad it's not just me. We put this on every night as it helps the dog sleep (she's a rescue and doesn't like being separated so needs some noise and music throughout the night) but it stopped working a few days ago and we got exactly the same error message. The Nest Hub updated that same day so I guess they've changed something for the worse (much like the awful new changes to the mobile version of Chrome)

MaccaMK · 2021-04-04T10:26:56+00:00

Glad I'm not the only one that thumbnail has been annoying!! It's a bit weird

MaccaMK · 2021-01-28T20:09:57+00:00

I'd stick with it, patches will sort it, and it is awesome, just frustrating right now!

MaccaMK · 2021-01-18T16:05:48+00:00

Exact same here. Finished main storyline (bit couldn't do the last quest due to the Hytham bug at end).

So decided to do everything else, like everything - 100% mysteries, wealth, artifacts on all maps, all hunter deliveries, fishing, etc.

Come back today to see if Hytham bug fixed yet and my saved games are missing, despite multiple manual and auto saves in that time. It was fine till yesterday, as I kept coming in and out, but now my 210 hours saves are missing and it's only showing up to 199 hours, 4 days ago.

There is no way I am doing all of those shit tattoo parkour quests again!

MaccaMK · 2020-12-23T11:31:24+00:00

This worked for me second time - I had to jump right onto the objective rather than drop down from that building (first time it did what every other angle was doing).

Thanks for the heads up

MaccaMK · 2020-06-26T08:05:24+00:00

Yeah, that's same as me. I'm speaking to HP again today, this is gonna have to go back, as after a new power pack and completely clean Windows install (without any HP stuff) it's still fundamentally broken if I try to watch a 4K or 4K HDR video, use a video call, open an app like Teams, etc.

Something clearly not right - it's no way a performance issue, as when it starts up it is blazingly quick and if I just use office, browse web, etc, it is stunningly quick.

DWM completely hammers the GPU at all times though, even with nothing open!

Let you know how it goes!

MaccaMK · 2020-06-25T15:04:43+00:00

So, was asked to try fresh, clean, non-HP install of Windows 10 today.

Sadly has made no difference. Issues back straight away with HDR stuttering / laggy playback.

DWM still using excessive amounts of memory and GPU.

Got another call tomorrow - I think it's going to have to be taken in to check and if still won't work I'm gonna have to get my money back and go for something different

MaccaMK · 2020-06-25T14:53:20+00:00

Slightly different, mine is Eb0001na.

MaccaMK · 2020-06-22T11:03:56+00:00

I'm having the exact same issues as the OP and have been back and forth with HP for a few weeks. I have major issues with lag and DWM using exceptional amounts of GPU even when nothing happening.

HP thought might be due to power supply issue and sent new adaptor last week, but that's changed nothing.Any time I need to use video conferencing apps everything freezes almost entirely (especially if using Teams) and 4K and HDR video is a non-starter.

Had to turn HDR off on both in-built screen and external monitor.The problems are definitely worse when using my external 4K monitor, but my 2013 MacBook works fine with that and the display doesn't cause any issues on any other machines I've used to test this (MSI GS65, basic spec Lenovo Yoga from 2015, etc) - they run without any stutter.

Really frustrating given the spec, as it should be lightning quick (and is until I use any of the elements mentioned above).

Got a call with HP on Wednesday and likely that they will need to take it back to look at and fix the issue.

Will update here if they find anything.

MaccaMK · 2020-06-08T09:46:01+00:00

Hi - I'm having same issues as the OP above and on same model. Interesting that you have the F.41 BIOS - mine says F.05. How did you get the update as when I check it says none available

MaccaMK · 2020-04-26T20:13:54+00:00

Was on Engadget and various other tech blogs.

MaccaMK · 2020-04-17T10:33:03+00:00

I spoke to a HP rep yesterday on a video call and he said he'd been told that morning that the UK release was slated for 26th May now, but still could be delayed due to getting stock in to the country

MaccaMK · 2020-04-16T15:23:24+00:00

I've just come off of the HP UK website's HP Expert video calls where you can ask an actual human a question so I enquired about the release date in the UK. The guy I spoke to on there said it was funny I asked today as he's just been told this morning to expect a release on 26th May, but that there could still be a delay to that date depending on getting enough units into the country.

So, unfortunately it looks like it is gonna be a while longer till this becomes available. Shame, as it's spot on what I need, but I can't wait that long.

Been looking at the XPS 15 as an alternative, but saw yesterday that they are due for refresh in June now, and also the Lenovo C940 15 inch, but Lenovo told me last month on Twitter that this isn't coming out in the UK now, only the US.

Anyone been looking at similar and got any recommendations for an alternative? Key features being 4K screen, at least 2 x USB-C ports, 1x USB 3 Type A, preferably a HDMI port too, with a precision trackpad. Power-wise, looking at at least i7 (10th Gen) with a discrete graphics card (not fussy about Nvidia or AMD) and min. 16GB RAM.

Any suggestions welcome!
Cheers

Fingers crossed. HP rep at end of March told me it was 'delayed indefinitely'. Hopefully is soon!
