It worked! You are a genius and i'm definitely in your debt, thank you so much.

hi, thanks for the info i will try it later, as today i've been sorting the plug sockets & switches. i will definitely let you know how i get on though

Hi, thanks for replying. Inside the wall socket in the front room there are 2 sets of Blue-White/White-Blue, Orange-White/White-Orange all going into a BT standard socket. The house was built about 12 years ago so would assume the wiring is newish! I suspect the reason why there's 2 lots of...

i tried following your suggestions but didn't work (tried without and with the white & orange and white & blue using a few permutations but still didn't work)

thanks for responding, but the problem is the housing the core & brading go into. I managed to connect just one of them and got tv channels/freeview including HD channels but weirdly don't have BBC1 & 2 (SD). Also lost BBC digital radio channels and i listen to these so really want to get them...

hi, I have bought a Trendi TV socket as we're changing over all the switches, plug sockets in the front room and thought it would look good to have a matching tv aerial one as well, but it has a very unusual configuration! Firstly, i'm not an electrician but having put new TV sockets in our...

hello so discovered our combi boiler has been losing pressure and finally traced it to a radiator and the TRV head on the floor in pieces and a very wet carpet. i've turned the non-TRV head off depressurised the rad and the area around the spring loaded pin is still filing up with water then...
