Cannot watch on my Bravia TV due to location

I’m signed in with the same account on all my devices. YouTube tv works on all of them except my Bravia TV where it says This item isn’t available in your country despite it being geolocated to where I live in Dallas.

I’ve tried updating the tv, resetting it, etc but while it shows Youtube TV under Your services next to the account on TV, it wont let me install the app or watch any channels (same error as above). On the Youtube tv phone app it correctly shows my location in America.

The only potential weirdness is that I moved to the US 4 years ago, but if that were the issue, why does it work on all my other devices?!

Edit: it’s a Sony X93L and yes I mainly use an Apple TV with it, but I’d also like it working on the Sony due it blending the tv channels with YouTube TV quite nicely in the EPG.

No YouTube TV on Google home hub and max option

I just got a YouTube TV subscription but have noticed that while it works fine on an Apple TV, I can’t see the YouTube TV service under Video or Live TV on my Google home hubs , I only have the option for Sling TV under Live TV. Under video I can see other services inc YouTube Kids but no YouTube TV.

I used to live in the UK 4 years ago (where YouTube TV doesn’t exist), but my address has long ago been updated to my US address.

Any idea why it isn’t showing up?

Prime day advice on premium robots

I have a Roborock Q Revo downstairs that does 90% of the cleaning and a Roborock S7 Max Ultra upstairs. I’m considering replacing the Q Revo. I’m 95% hard floors and tiles with 3 big area rugs. Mopping performance for me is therefore the most important thing and corner/edge coverage.

I’m looking at the Saros 20, the X60 max ultra Complete and the narwhal flow 2. I don’t really have a budget, I just want the best, but it’s hard to judge based on YouTube where the reviews often feel like paid infomercials and everyone comes to different conclusions. To me roller mop seems like the best mopping option but I don’t really want a v1 product.

What do you lot think? Any options I’m missing?

Edit: no large thresholds they need to navigate in the home

Water hardness

I’ve noticed my water hardness in the pool is now at the top end of the test strips (in Dallas) and asked Claude how to fix this. It recommends either partial drain and refill (the tap water is hard though), Flocculant, a sequestering agent or using a reverse osmosis service to remove the calcium.

What does everybody else use? Also, does the water hardness affect the usage of chlorine as it seems to burn off virtually every day and I have to scrub the walls daily to prevent algae growing? Ph is within range and I use a sachet of 6 in 1 shock weekly, pool tabs (from Costco) in a floater and liquid chlorine. Considering I use tabs, surprisingly my cyanauric acid is very low which I think may be contributing to chlorine burn. I haven’t refilled the pool this year almost at all because its been raining so much.

Thanks!

Q Revo Object A I detection

Every time my robot runs, it detects hundreds of ‘obstacles’ in empty rooms throughout the house. Is there any way to stop it doing this? It has done this from new, so I switched off the ‘Reactive Object avoidance’ feature, but I now have a dog so I’d like it to work as advertised so we can avoid any poomegeddon situations.

This portion of the ground floor is with the room completely cleared and nothing on the floor and with all sensors freshly cleaned. What could be causing this?

My mirror was knocked off by a zips car wash (the car was in car wash mode and neutral at the time) so I’ve claimed for the repair from zips car wash and requested a mobile service from Tesla.

They have asked me to pre-approve an estimate of $954. However, would this not be covered under the warranty for the car as it should be able to go through a regular car wash…without the mirror falling off?
