I'm no supporter of Trump, cannot stand the guy, but at least he makes his mind up and cracks on. Iran has been a thorn in the sides of most countries for decades, and somebody needed to tackle them. It ought to have been an international effort, especially as so far it has affected so many...

They are cheap, to get you hooked in buying the ink cartridges.

Did that remote, ever operate that TV???

Then your measurement with your callipers must be wrong.

Get a laser printer, they will not mind sitting unused for days/weeks/months. Get an ex-office printer, they are cheapest on replacement cartridges, and the printers can be had for free, or almost free. I paid £15 for my ancient HP4000n, 20 years ago, and it still prints fine.

My previous partner, was a big fan of Brendan Shine, collected all his records etc., when over here, he would usually stay here.

WOW four votes, as many as that? I think all it confirms, is that more people than I would expect, don't understand basic physics. John - if you really want to know for certain, then set up the simple experiment I described. There is a perfectly valid reason why the Willis is designed the way...

Almost every customer with a smart meter, will be aware of what a IHD is. I am surprised that someone 'in the trade' might not know, when the IHD was mentioned in the same sentence as the smart meter.

I bought the fancy optional extra remote for my LG, the optional one uses a mix of IR and 'wireless', to transmit to the TV. One day, it stopped working, and needed to be re-paired to the TV. Is there a pairing setting somewhere in the TV?

However, when we are discussing a fairly confined bit of tech, then what is under discussion will be fairly obvious, even if the short form of initials are used. When discussing smart meters, IHD, can only possibly mean an In Home Display.

Some background heat throughout, and a living room gas fire for a bit of additional local heat works for us, and is reasonably economical. Hall stat, set to 14C overnight, 18C during day. It's barely firing at the moment.

What you need, is a custom-built BMS, however, no system can predict the future, as in the weather, precisely. There is a very knowledgeable group, on the Octopus server, where several have fancy systems set up. Well worth having a read of that.

The OP suggested the 'signal light' on the remote was flashing, which suggests the buttons at least, are working OK. I would suggest the camera test, to confirm it is transmitting.

I don't know if this has been posted already - https://www.pluginsolar.co.uk/?product_cat=plug-in-solar They seem to be already selling it in the UK..
