1. Bargain new and sealed WD20EURX 2TB AV drives on eBay
  
  You are correct. Not the only mistake I made yesterday with figures... Same here. I have no doubt these are new old stock left over from a production run. Puzzlingly as of 12:10pm Tuesday the last one is still unsold. [Edit] Just posted about this on another forum.

2. Bargain new and sealed WD20EURX 2TB AV drives on eBay
  
  Last one is surprisingly still available 1pm Monday. Second one arrived today and is currently being given a long format. It's one day younger than the first one: 18/8/24. [Edit] D'oh! Make that 18/8/16.

  Glad I spotted it. First listed over two years ago with 125 and now down to the last one which will be gone today - I'm guessing a few more people bought after seeing my post.

  They changed things again yesterday so 'download as highest MP4' would download as 4K VP90 (3840x2160) with no sound and today there's a new YT-DLG that fixes it.

  And today you can download 720p MP4 again and even higher, but not if you select MP4 and Highest as used to give a 720p download - that now gives a error. [Edit] It was a glitch - it audio fine side but video blank. Didn't feel like checking the file properties

  Advantage of being able to do a download in 720p MP4 (not 1020 as I mis-typed) was speed as no conversion was needed. Meant I could do YT downloads using an old HP laptop without having it run at 100% CPU for what seemed like hours. Even the main PC with an old I7 3770K takes minutes to...
