Thanks for that I will have a look at the Avermedia, any experience with Robox, the spec looks OK with the bonus of HD with an hdmi connection. Never heard of them before and can't find any reviews.

Hello, I am in need of a DVR so far I have tried a KG-SHA104 ( 4CH ) from Mapli*s the motion detection was 1 - 4 and totally ridiculous probably not even worth having. Anyway sent that back. Then I tried a Mak*o DVR (MPEG4) which had great motion detection with multiple settings but no...

External - do you think this will definatley work over dulux weathershield? my plasterer says he can get hold of Rend Aid from keelsupply so it could be a good solution for me. Will I need to do anything else to the wall before applying rend aid?

Thanks for that, much appreciated. I always said I would never buy another house with render! still it will keep me out of trouble for a bit. :D

:?: :?: I have a plasterer but he is not a renderer. He is quite happy to render it but has no idea how to prepare the wall because of the masonery paint. If it was a plastered wall he would PVA. But his and my understanding is render will not stick to paint. Taking it off is not an...

Hello I have bought a house thats half rendered, built in the 80s, the previous owner installed a window at some point and someone made a dogs dinner of the render around it. Uneven, rough patches etc. Before they sold the house they had it painted in Dulux weathershield. All looks well...

Quick update, sent complaint to Aviva on behalf of my mate, he has now been told insurance company sending a settlement cheque for the hob. He better buy me a pint or six :D Just got all the other problems to sort out now! Avoid any insurance company that use Asprea or Abec :)

Hi all, Mate has just had his kitchen tiled by a "proffesional from insurance company :cry: He is not a happy chappy and asked me to take them off and re-tile The thing is I am not sure how to tile so it looks the best, my first thought is to restart the tiles from center and cut the...

The electrician turned it on and because it worked that was that, its been eight weeks since it was flooded so I guess its dried out. I have now sent written complaint to Aviva asking for cash settlement.

Electrician has said its "functional" what ever that is supposed to mean. It has now dried out so is OK. He has asked them to put that in writing and to state that it is safe to use. But he is going to buy a new one and give up on the insurance which I would not do on principle but I guess...

Sorry if this is in the wrong place but I am trying to solve a problem on behalf of a friend. He had a flood and the result was his kitchen was wrecked. He has an electric halogen hob and after the flood he tried using it and it blew a fuse - 30amp He let it dry out for a week and when he...

Thanks Dave Much appreciated I am up and running, the only thing is when I wired it all up everything was doing what it should but the boiler was not firing up, so I reconnected the programmer and the negatives and it worked ! I have never used the programmer it always stays on "on" for...

Its not possible for me to start re-wiring, because its all inaccesable. Currently I have two cables both have a red and black, the two reds are connected to the current stat the blacks connected together. I do know which cable comes from the white valve port cable. I wanted an RF stat...

Thanks for that, too complicated for me, I know my limits :) Behind the current stat both cables have a neutral cable taped together and just the reds are connected to the current stat.

The boiler is a old Thorn Apollo and has motorised valve, and the timer is a sunvic select 207xl
