Thanks Chris - Hoped it was something like that (fingers crossed).

Thanks Sam. So the sat box is sending out the DC power and it's most likely how i've connected the F connectors rather than the wire itself ? (I hope so, as the wires are all burried withing walls !! )

Hi Guys, Sorry for what I'm sure is a very simple question. I have sky multiroom and am looking to set up this to be distributed to other tele's in the house. If I plug the magic eye directly into the sky box, there is power the the Magic Eye, and the red light is showing. If...

You couldn't make up huh !!! :) Thanks guys. And sorry B.A.S. Guess they're a pet hate :) Ok - just looked at the cert. The existing cable is 4mm on 32amp Guess it answers itself right. Don't imagine that will be sufficient for any future jacuzzi. So next question...

Thanks for the reply. It's a wooden shed. Regarding the size if the cable/MCB. Will this be on the cert that I receieved when the origional work was done ? I can't see anything labled on the existing CU.

Hi, House was rewired two years ago and the electricion put a sepperate feed on the CU for power to a shed I was going to put in down the bottom of the garden. There is a junction box on the side of the house which is to connect the cable to take the power to the shed. I'm looking to have a...

Thanks gasservice I'll check when I get in. I don't recall their being and metal clips on it ! Are there other fittings that don't use these ? Maybe I didn't explain to well The stack goes onto an almost junction, which sits over the original. Assuming it's wrong (was a dodgy...

Hi, I have an old house which originally had the cast iron guttering, and soil stacks, lead pipes etc. When the house was replumed, the plumber replace the toilet stack with a new pvc one. He basically cut the origional (which went into the drain) about 4 inchs from the ground, and then...

Thanks Foxhole Yes it is - there a transformer in the ceiling Rose part or the light. Hoped it was something like this rather than a bigger fundamental problem.! Is there a way that I can test/check that ?

Hi guys, A very strange lighting question that hopefully has a fairly simple solution. I've recently changed the light in the hallway to the below http://www.bhs.co.uk/mall/productpage.cfm/bhsstore/976876 It is controlled by two, 2 way rocker switches. As you can see - It has 20, G4...

Hi - many thanks for the repkly. I should have been more specific. OK - Current set up is as follows Living Room - Sky HD. £ wires coming from the wall. Two of which go to the dish, and a third (currently unused) cable if I wanted to feed to pickure into other rooms. This cable...

Hi all.. I've recently had whole house rewired (bought a probate sale) and also got the electrician to run points for sky in each room. They have put a distribution amp in the loft (which i know is wrong - it's a "Select 6 way areial amp ) as it's just for TV. I will need to get one...

Thanks Plugwash In your opinion what's 'marginal' Currently signal 1 is about 80% and quality about 90%. Input 2 is has strength of about the same 80% and quality of 100% And will stuff from say mplin be suitable, or need more specialist stuff? Thanks

Hi Guys, Recently had house re-wired and current situation is that in two rooms, I have 3 cables coming out of the wall for sky. Not the prettiest, but the builders walked out on the job so thats how it was left. Anyway, two of the cables are connected to the sky HD box, with one of them...

Thanks, Just saw that reply... Will take a look at that... So would this would be at the switch or at the light fitting ? I'm guessing that it would be the light fitting as it didn't look like normal when I replaced... So. would I need to sepperate the neutral of the lamp from the main...

Hi guys, Bit of a strange one (for me) but sure its quiet straight forward. Have just replace living room bog stadard rose for a light fitting and at the same time changed the swithes. It's a 3 gang swith, One for the main light and two for two pairs of wall lights. As far as I can tell...
