Thanks Rich4Nancy. SO basically, there is nothing to choose between them. I might as well go with BG.

My boiler has finally packed up and it needs replacing. I am on a BG contract and they are offering discount but I am not sure the boiler they are offering is good. The exiting boiler is a Gloworm 120. I have megaflo and one of those red expansion vessels. It is a large 5 bed house with...

Hi If you're a gas engineer working TODAY or TOMORROW and cover HP2 (Hemel Hempstead) please could you pm me - my tenant has called to say that boiler has suddenly stopped working and the agents are closed. The boiler is less than two years old and is: Worcester Greenstar 30CDi Regular...

Here are the three connections into the black Antiference box From the left: First cable comes from the splitter attached to the Labger box. Second cable comes from the top left Taldis unit at the bottom Third cable disappears off via the trunking Also the Output cable on Teldis...

Chris and Sam Thank you very much for all your help. I will order the Wolsey and hopefully all will be back to normal.

Chris Thanks again. I cant try all of what you suggested just now as I will need to make a cable as you suggested. However, (without disconnecting other cables) I did try: "Next, start by connecting the TV to the output of the Taldis box. Power back up and do a signal check. The quality will...

Sam - please could you explain that in terms of the cables. I think you are saying that I should take the second cable fro the top splitter and rater than it being plugged into the leftmost terminal on the black box it should be connected to something else? I thought may be this black box...

Thanks Chris. Connecting a TV direct to the Top Labgear output marked TV works perfectly. Looking closely, the splitter connection was actually a Belling, otherwise known as an IEC :wink: So this means that aerial is OK. I tried with two different TVs and the signal quality improved to 91...

Thanks Chris I have had a good look at the Heath Robinson setup. Your analysis of the gear is spot on. The black box says "Antiference UF3730 UHF Combiner 21-37/39-69. The connections are as you described. Three cables are going downstairs - one from the splitter connected to Labgear...

OwainDYer - thanks. Haven't got a clue of what type of aerial I have but here's a picture. My postcode is wd18 7lb. But the thing is that the aerial and the TV was working fine late last year. I was away for a few weeks. So something has happened in between. We did get a new skybox but...

Thanks ChrisFrost. The answers here have solved the not getting SKY round the house issue. It needed connecting up the skybox in the other room and setting RF2 on skybox to On. I still have the issue of not getting clear picture or sound on the aerial channels - the picture is very pixilated...

Thanks OwainDIYer. Just about everything is that way in this house! Thanks to the clues, I now know that the top box is an amplifier. Don't know what the other two boxes are but one of them must be a distributor - it must be the black box in the middle as it has a no of connections coming out...

I moved into a house which has a no of TV points - in bedrooms, kitchen etc. The SKY feed comes into the lounge and the dining room - each has two sky cables for the sky box. The previous owners had a sky box in both. I just have sky box in the lounge. When I bought the house I was told that...

Agile - If only I had known that this morning. I eventually phoned up British Gas and signed up for their fix and annual cover as they could send someone round today. Of course he turned up but didn't have the part - so back wednesday. But he did get it going. Mickyg - you were right. It...

Mickyg - I used the manual and it's fault finder using a multi meter. It says air pressure. Of course I'd use a rge but on a bank holiday they seem to be rarer than sunshine!
