Presto - Damage control

 

Hi Alan,

Thanks for getting in touch, and apologies for the inconvenience. We appreciate your frustration, and can assure you that we are working on a resolution for those affected customers.

If you’ve not already, please confirm and go through the troubleshooting steps provided. As an initial troubleshooting step please perform a soft reset on the t-box, by pressing the reset button underneath for approximately 2 seconds.

As a gesture of goodwill, we will extend the length of your promotion so that you have a further month free.

In the interim if you can view Presto on an alternate device, such as a smartphone, tablet or desktop device, we will work towards identifying the root cause of this issue, rectify and update you as soon as possible.

We appreciate your patience on this and will work to update you as soon as we have a resolution.

Thanks,
From the Presto Support Team

Presto is stuffed !

Been enjoying my (6 months free) Presto for a 2 months now, last night managed to stay awake right through Divergent !!!

Tonight is a different story - Presto is stuffed !!! No matter what I choose pressing the Play button throws up 'no entitlements for this user' ???

Checked Presto website and looks like this has been a ongoing issue for weeks now.

RBA interest rates

Bad news for us retirees, the million dollar plus man at the RBA has decided to push the lever forwards and cut the cash rate by 25 basis points to 2.00% – bugger !!!

When I retired in July 2010 the cash rate was 4.5% and were getting 6.0% for the term deposit in our SMSF.

Al's Woodshop - kids tricycle repair

I've been given a kids wooden tricycle to repair. I feel like I'm running a community men's shed.


The damage is obvious, the handle bar was made from a softwood so no surprise the thing broke off. Here I'm knocking the pin out with a pin punch.

Table side by side GOOD
