Fetch Mighty looks like it might help with EPG, but at $449 it's a long shot. No need for a PVR here.

Some common sense starting to pervade this thread! Thanks! I'm planning a little larger and 4K but dang that box might be a nice halfway…

Good advice, thanks - will be sure to check it out. Although I don't see us do any internet browsing on the TV :-)

Ooof. Yes, the less "added value" by the manufacturer the better.

Yep. new TV time.

Appreciate someone saying this.

It is connected, but I don't think it gets its data from there - same initial load time, with or without. The internet features it does…

Not so sure about that. It's quite brisk once the data is cached. Bottleneck appears to be the initial load. Any other bright ideas?

Will check that out at some stage, cheers; there's an AppleTV already in position however.

Definitely considered this. Wanted to check in with folks who might understand the problem and have insight or a genuine technical…

Euphemistic on Tyre Recommendations - 235/35R20 or 245/35 (Tesla 3 Performance)

This is pretty accurate. Model 3P is 1,828kg BMW M3* is 1,780kg. That only includes 10l of fuel though, so let's add 15kg to half fill it.…

Mokr on EV Brakepads? Actually a Different Product? or Is It Just Deceptive Marketing?

I think the vehicle weight includes 10 litres of fuel only. Those BMW weights can come up a bit for this comparison.

Sunshine Coast QLD, looking to go halves

Should have mentioned; that BMW was purchased second hand for $21k. Don't think i'd do that again. Refer running costs.

LukeOliver commented on Why Did You Get a Loan for a 100K Vehicle?
Tesla Model 3 $100k @3% over six years, halfway in. It's insane how much cheaper it is to run than my old BMW.

I kind of get the need to rag on Apple when they were the underlings, and needed to be stamped out like the vermin they were. But now…

Looked at this. Seems batteries go hand in hand with mobile phone production.

I'd say the number plate has done its job... triggered a reaction ;-) The study quoted by OP needs a fact check - it's a bit cherry-picked.…
