Have you tried one of your other TVs in place of the Sony for the same time of night? If it is affected the same way then that shows something in that room/outlet is the issue. Even running two side by side via a 2-way splitter? To see if when the Sony glitches the other does anything? Ditto...

Makes tea taste awful according to swmbo. Not especially nice with whisky, either. Urban myth. https://www.kinetico.co.uk/blog/post/can-drink-softened-water Mind they do say not to use for babies and if on low sodium diet. Most installers will fit a drinking water tap that is not softened...

The 3000 will be, roughly, half the brightness of the 1500 when both sets consume the same quantity of electrickery. Take/send the 3000 set back and replace with 2 sets of 1500.

@geoffers1 the OP hasn't been seen since 3 Nov 2024, so you may never know. Our floor-standing equivalent is working fine. With the filter now completely removed (we have a water softener on its cold supply). Possibly essential for hard water areas... and need 6 monthly replacement at a cost...

Hmmm. My unvented HW cylinder has daily losses of circa 2 kWh... According to the manufacturer. That would be 18 kWh per week without using any water from it. I can't dispute your actual measured numbers but you must have the smallest HW cylinder and be exceedingly frugal with HW draw-off...

I use a Meross smart plug to control a towel radiator, outside the room, of course. But any similar smart switch control will work whatever the brand. That's what I'd fit in your adjacent cupboard. 13A socket and towel rail wired into a fused plug into the smart switch.

Is this an unvented hot water cylinder pressure vessel? White usually. Or a boiler pressure vessel? Red usually. The manufacturers installation manuals should specify the setting and how to do it...

Not that I know of. Some TVs have a Composite PAL video (and stereo audio) input : 3x RCA or 4-pole 3.5 mm jack. Not always listed in the specs so need examination of connection panel and/or manuals. You may already have suitable connections or cables in the man cave? My 65LV2000 oled from...

It might be physically but not wiring wise. Wiser: https://thermostat.guide/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Drayton-Wiser-thermostat-kit-1-Installation-Guide-FIG-2.png 522: https://thermostat.guide/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Drayton-LP522-Weekend-programmer-Thermostat-2.png NB I was wrong wiring...

Yellow / blue in T3 and 4 on old backplate move to T1 and 2 on the wiser backplate. You may already have done that, though. Live also needs linking to T1 (the 522 did that bit internally). EDIT wrong wiring see later corrected post

DO ensure you use flexible cable(s) and NOT twin + earth for this boat/caravan mains wiring. You will, of course, also need a suitable double back box to contain the exposed terminals on the rear of the C-lines. Or two single back boxes when there'd be a need for some outer sheath on any...

I suspect one need pictures of the PCB (with a scale alongside) and or the PCB ID numbers. Pin diameter and length and spacing will be critical, usually. CPC Farnell and RS Components might stock a range that could fit?

I typed mira atom rainfall instructions into my search bar and it came up with what might be useful stuff... including You Tube videos I haven't watched. https://device.report/manual/679991 diagrams and words seems clear enough to me... IF it's the correct manual for yours. Push-fit into...

What sat nav map download was that? What car make? With my Ford Galaxy the bottleneck was always their servers rather than my ISP / BT Openreach FTTC service; and my home wifi was never an issue. IIRC the downloads took well in excess of two hours for a file around the 25GB mark. The...
