Right …
I have an internal hard drive to get rid of.
Which usually means one thing.
Selling it to my local branch of CeX? Is my usual course of action.
However, with the hard drive in question?
The las time I took the thing into Brentwood CeX, there was a problem.
Apparently?
Now, I have to admit, that piece of news … was something I wasn’t sure I liked: as I wasn’t sure I could do anything about it.
As soon as I got back home?
I posted a
question to the relevant Apple forum: and got an answer that looks helpful.
Hopefully?
That will help.

OK, streaming services.
There’s a few, isn’t there?
It looks like the UK will get another one … come October.
Something I know the BBC have wanted to do for years, is use the
iPlayer — the BBC’s catch up service — as an international
streaming service: alone the lines of
Netflix.
Which never caught on.
However, Aunty Beeb has worked with
ITV. To introduce a streaming service called
Britbox: to sell British TV content
abroad.
And have
announced that the service will start in the UK, towards the end of the year.
I have to admit, I’m … slightly concerned.
My worry? Is that both iPlayer and ITV Hub — ITV’s equivalent to the iPlayer — may be phased out, here in the UK: in favour of a subscription service.
I don’t know about you, but I can’t afford that!
