Hello I have a Linn Lifestyle system and a Project turntable (and Phono Box). I want to be able to stream music from the Internet via laptop or iPhone through the speakers. What do I need to be able to do this. Maybe a simple question but although I work in IT and was at one point interested in...

OK thanks - I will give it a go then.

Is it OK to place a splitter before a TV distribution box. I have one TV that runs from a cable in the loft, the aerial also runs to the loft and these are currently joined. I have several cables that run from the cellar to points around the house. The easiest thing to do is to put a 8 or 16 way...

Tried a different TV and now getting channels 1 and 2 but not HD channels but that is probably due to the aerial. It is fine for what I need it for. I also bypassed the booster on the aerial which improved the number of channels. Thanks for your help.

Thanks - yes just this minute I have bought male to male f plug connectors. I will be trying it later.

Thank that's great. I should have mentioned I am going via a multi-switch too. I will try it direct to TV to see if it makes a difference. I am not far from Middlewich (near Knutsford). I did wonder if it was the fact that Winter Hill was going to be changing to a type A but this is delayed. I...

I just bought one. But am I correct that in theory this should work. I will try with a different TV. The one that works is much bigger and this small one looked much easier to put up and more discrete.

Hello I have bought a log periodic aerial from TLC https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/MX27879D.html It does not pick up BBC1 and BBc2 and possibly others. I thought this aerial type would be OK for Winter Hill. I am not close but receive an excellent signal with a bigger aerial on an...

Ah yes - Thanks.

Thanks that was very helpful. Just one thing though. How is the CCTV connected. Does that need to go to amodulator along with the terestrial aerial cable, and then the modulator plugs into the Multiswitch? Any views on the bst one to get?

Hello I want to distribute satellite, terestrial TV, CCTV to 10 points. The Labgear LDU608R has 8 outputs. Is there an alternative or can I extend the LDU608R to createadditional outputs using a small TV distribution amplifier. Thanks

Thanks. I need to be able to alter the temperature and on/off times remotely because we run a B&B and it is a pain going around the rooms and out buildings if say the rooms aren't occupied over a few days. I know ufh takes time to respond but that is another reason that if I am out and we...

I am looking to replace my UFH roomstats with ones that I can program remotely from my phone probably via Amazon Echo. The only ones I can find can only turn the heating on and off but I want to be able to set the on and off temperatures throughout the day and set manual, or timer and adjust the...

OK Thanks - I haven't chosen the lights yet so that solves the problem

I am putting some cable in for some lights that will be inset in an outside wall. I have an electrician that I use but the wall is being built before he starts and he is away. Can 2.5 T&E be used inside the wall running at the bottom? Should it be in conduit? Also the cable will then emerge at...
