Nice one fella, will take a look.

thanks sparky, decent advice fella. Just been looking at the labgear HDU, looks decent enough. Also looking for an ezmod equivalent as all the refernces i see to it are US related.

nice one thanks, thats saved me quite a bit of work, i was originally thinking that i might have to run a separate cable to the tv's. is it an issue that sky cables will go to sky box then rf2 will go into uhf, only other input will be cctv (via mod). i.e. no aerial/tv signal direct into...

thanks sparky, so dvr ->uhf mod-> loftbox which can then be used to distribute cctv over existing coax which is also used for distributing sky? If so this would be good as it would save me running any more cables as the modulator will be sited next to the loft box. Hopw are the channels...

apologies, one sky box, Rf2 to go to amp UHF in, then out to 3 other tv's

Hi sparky thanks for that. I'm going to get an amp to send sky around the home - coax has bee nrun for that but not connected. is there a way of sending the cctv over the same coax that will be used for sending sky or is there an issue with channel numbers ?

Hi I am planning a cctv system for my home. I have DVR that has a vga and composite output. I would like to be able to view the cctv footage on two televisions in my house. Can anyone advise what cables/connections are best for this. I have been looking around the web and see some people...

Thanks muggles. I may just approach some local heating engineers - I only used ratepeople as I don't know anyone competant. Still leaning towards unvented cylinder setup but I guess it is useful hearing some suggestions.

I have had a third heating engineer round now (from ratedpeople again). he has another solution. he says to keep the vaillant turbomax combi (28KW) and install a second combi (main is what he recommends). the existing combi would serve the downstairs DHW and CH, which includes a bathroom and...

Hi mfarrow, we currently have a vaillant 28KW combi, which is probably about 12 years old. Its one of the turbomax models. Nowt too wrong with it, I understand you can connect an unvented cylinder to a combi, but understand that new boilers are mor efficient etc so decided to upgrade the whole...

Hi Terry, the mains is 32mm poly. For us the main consideration is 'future proofing' for a bigger family. I was initially leaning towards the idea of a vaillant 937 combi but if we need to use two showers or run a bath and hot tap together, then the combi may struggle. Plus the vaillant 937...

thank you Tony The incoming flow and pressure is what was measured by affinity water at the stop tap. Does this seem unrealistic? Thanks for the advice on the heat loss, I will ask the relevant questions to both chaps who came round.

Hi All We are looking at replacing our vaillant combi with an unvented setup. I had a couple of heating engineers round from ratedpeople and one suggested a conventional system with a water storage polytank and geldhill vented cylinder, vaillant 630 and 4 bar pump. the other suggested a Main...

Hi, I did get a response - they said that TB4000 and GA4000 are the same. HTH

Thanks guys I might just bite the bullet and go for insulated boards. This should help me minimise the amount of space I lose due to thickness of insulation. At 45/board though it is a lot, yikes! Am tempted go for the TB4000 so have sent a query off to celotex to ask abotu the technical...
