The + in sky+ is that just the recording element? So if I don't need recording since I don't have a subscription, I just go for a smaller sky box?

yeah correct i cant record on it. Bought it 10Y ago in ebay thinking I could. How much would the LNB change cost in parts and what are those boxes being sold on ebay? Are there no free to air channels on there?

My old sky+ box is playing up. Im not in a contract and was using it for the free to air channels. Can I simply replace it with a SkyQ box off ebay and use the same cable from the dish?

If I have exposed brick at the moment because of the renovation, can anyone recommend suitable trunking to carry lots of cables etc?

I was working off the assumption that if people placed a TV on a stand on top of a unit e.g. living room sideboard cupboard, most units are 700mm height so my mums TV we put higher than this to factor that in. I just realised that not everyone will have a unit that high and in fact most TV...

Come to think of it, yeah you're right, 2m is too high. So 1m or 1.5m for socket?

So who are the big boys in town to consider?

Can you please run me through some of the new developments in alarm capabilities worth considering. Is Texexom still good? I’m just looking for some inspirational food for thought when considering an alarm.

Can you pls post the link to the YouTube video you watched as I’m in exactly the same position. Did you complete your project? Thx.

We have converted an old kitchen into a GF single bedroom in which one side has a plasterboard stud partition. This side of the wall once had wall hung cupboards but now it's all been reskimmed etc. We need more space in there for my young daughter. How best to secure new wall hung...

where are they installed if not in or via the cavities? Can they be chased out in the wall? I have a similar situation where the cables coming from my new meter on the front wall need to be chased out of the front wall into the property and the. Some 6-7m into a cloak room where the new CU...

Hi don’t forget 2m height is the electrical socket level and not necessarily the TV level. If I went for a 65” or larger TV, without knowing where the cable will exit the tv (if from the top like my old 42” Samsung) I don’t want to be caught short of cable to plug it in. regardless of the...

I’m restarting a home renovation project that I stopped 4 years ago. I have hard wired 8 core CQR intruder alarm cable all over my house (is this cable any good?) and was thinking of going for a Texexom Premier Elite (that I knew about 5 years ago). But back then their internet connected...

As part of a home renovation, I have a solid wall around 6-8m long currently still brick faced and not rendered. I’ll probably have a electrical socket 2m from floor level in the centre of the wall to power a wall hung TV. More than likely there will be 400-600mm depth fitted cupboards or...

Has anyone plastered a new ceiling and installed a LED profile strip. Are they any good, how easy it to use / plaster in, what about changing the led strip? example one here...

Its interesting, on the amazon web site when people are complaining its peeling off, I'm wondering if they (or you) might have painted it when there was still moisture in the fence, because the product says it can peel if wet etc.

Cack = rubbish? Sorry I'm not familiar with that lingo! :-) Barrettine do two products, a preserve which is more expensive and a protect treatment which is about £10 cheaper.

Which stuff?

Turn alright in what sense? It's still standing.... :-)

Hi I'm looking to treat some quality fences that I have recently bought. The fence has been pressure treated (does that mean there is already preserve on there?). I wanted something which offers the best protection and don't want to be doing this every few years and Curpinol Ducksback and...
