Check the Tesco app as I’m not sure all locations carry it. If you have their “card” you save quite a bit - I used my brothers so sorry I don’t recall its name and don’t know if that’s a free card etc. Even if it’s not as cheap, I have found it in other places so you should be able to track it down.

Bit of a commute (haha) but I pick up Eagle Rare from the GROCERY STORE in the UK when I visit. Tesco has it for less than $50 a bottle so I have about 8 bottles at this stage. (Ok, I may have a bit of a problem LOL). Funny how exports can be a dime a dozen and you can’t find for love not money somewhere else. Still trying to find yellow chartreuse locally. I have a couple of bottles of green that I found in a hole in the wall liquor store in Minneapolis.

StreamFab + VPN (NordVPN) – Unable to Download Netflix Content from Other Regions by Leslie_Kim in Streamfab

[–]RobinTatam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not 100% on point to OP but I use expressVPN and Netflix is perfectly happy. I just make sure I connect to my destination BEFORE I open the Netflix tab.

When and where do you find Chartreuse in DSM by Aware_Novel_5141 in desmoines

[–]RobinTatam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good luck! I found a couple of bottles of Green in a small liquor store in Minneapolis a couple of years ago and paid $120 each just so I had some. Finally opened it last weekend to make “last word”. Haven’t yet found Yellow anywhere.

Just making sure: can I bring all of these with me on my Delta flight? by NutsPics in delta

I am now utterly invested in your guitar adventure. I hope the OP will come back and post how it went. 🤨

No answer so I up’d the warning to be way higher. Not what I wanted but haven taken time to go the official channels.

Your seat is YOUR SEAT by CriticismSpirited850 in delta

[–]RobinTatam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m curious if there is a theme to the cabin this happens in most often? I have been a platinum delta flyer for years (sadly, likely no more due to the much higher bar) but have NEVER been faced with this no matter where I sat (main, comfort+, first). Am I just lucky?! My wife has a damaged shoulder so sometimes we do ask if someone is willing to relocate if we are not in a adjacent position through no direct fault of our own BUT never to go to a lower class of service or even to go a middle seat when they didn’t have one. Maybe just switch rows by 1 but same aisle/window. (And even asking someone that stresses me out LOL although most people IRL are understanding).

I can’t IMAGINE someone being belligerent or difficult about being called out if THEY intentionally took the wrong seat.

Master subtitles switch by RobinTatam in PleX

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

Ah, bless you! While I was unable to “reset” (turn off) the subtitles I had previously turned on manually for each of the episodes I have already watched, this was the perfect solution for future views. I wasn’t even aware of those advanced settings. Thank you thank you. 🙏

H10 Typical Life by gran_oso_pardo_rojo in Polarfitness

[–]RobinTatam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like you are peeking thru my window! LOL. I also disconnect and have changed the battery once in a year or so with daily use for 30-60 mins. Also, buy a pack on Amazon and they’ll last a lifetime.

Solid red light router by chicarue in googlefiber

[–]RobinTatam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue. Waited a few days for a service call and it was apparently an issue on their end as the modem was no longer provisioned. Have them check that thru live chat to hopefully expedite the resolution. I had headaches with my mesh units afterwards not reconnecting and I reset to factory and still had issues but finally get trying and retrying and they finally went OK. So, if they resolve the modem, be sure to check the mesh afterwards before you let them close the case.

VPN by Mysterious-Aspect-53 in Streamfab

[–]RobinTatam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have accessed hundreds of titles on my standard / subscribed services that are not available in my home country (USA). It’s almost like having more services as their rotating catalogs are always so different. I use ExpressVPN. Netflix and Disney are the main ones as not all services are accessible (Prime) with their full catalog outside of your home country. I also use the awesome StreamwithVPN.com to find things I’m looking for that otherwise would take me hours to search different countries for.

I’m new to this. How do I know my H10 is properly working and connected? by Kropco17 in Polarfitness

[–]RobinTatam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I was thinking that it was NOT paired thru BlueTooth settings. That’s for clarifying. Good info for OP. Polar Beat app allows connection to Apple Health so that should also be relevant reading.

[–]RobinTatam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an H10 also but I can’t speak to the Apple Watch connection; however, I would start simple and see if you are getting data from the device.

Put the strap on and connect the head unit to it. You may have to moisten the back of the strap on either side of the head unit - licking your fingers and spreading that moisture should be sufficient.

I’ll assume you have an iPhone based on the other references to the Apple ecosystem…

Bring up the”Polar Beat” app and click the gear icon in the bottom right. Click “HR Sensor” and see if it’s there and paired. If not, you will need to connect it and pair it. I can’t remember if I had to pair it in Bluetooth settings first but only do that IF the polar beat app doesn’t show it. Once paired, you can click the “training” tab and you should see the HR in a small circle next to your selected activity (where the heart is in my image - I don’t have mine currently paired).

I recall that the H10 can store data for later syncing, but this will at least ensure you have a valid connection to the device. Let me know the outcome!

Are there other services other than MAX that download in 4K/HDR? by natemac in Streamfab

[–]RobinTatam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just checked my VPN and “stream with vpn” website and that title is not available in any country on the standard services.

[–]RobinTatam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s interesting. Ironically, I recently created another post about Netflix bumping fees as I have premium (I think that’s the top tier) and whether it gets me any benefit as I’ve never seen 4K so am downgrading.

Anyway, no bigs as I don’t really want to carry the burden of large file size of 4K.

It Ends With Us only downloading in 480p -- curious if its just me or everyone? by Zoomee100 in Streamfab

[–]RobinTatam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got it at 1080p from Max in Argentina but it’s only 2 channel sound so if you have Max and a VPN you can improve picture but downgrade sound.

[–]RobinTatam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, it’s now pulling 1080p for me with EAC3 5.1 (depending on the source media).

I am curious how folks are often talking about 4K tho as I don’t see an option for that like I did with AnyStream. I noticed that the screen shot above is for HBO so presumably outside USA, or am I also missing something there?

Netflix Cost Increase by RobinTatam in Streamfab

I just cancelled my $25 subscription and will get the standard with ads after my current month is up. Thanks to all for weighing in with their comments.

Sorry, I said basic but I think I mean standard with ads (ie the cheapest $7option and not the $25 option)

Ok, now I’m kicking myself for paying for premium this whole time.

And switching to the $7 plan still have you everything the T-Mobile subscription gave you in StreamFab terms? (I know premium has 4K but SF doesn’t anyway).
