Maybe just get a universal remote? When my mum went into hospice care, I got her an One4All remote which had bigger buttons with better contrast so easier for her to use without having to reach for her reading glasses.

The Consumer Right Act doesn't replace an extended warranty though. Yes, it gives the consumer some addition rights beyond the standard 12 month / 24 month manufacturer's warranty and any support offered by the credit card issuer if that's how it was purchased. However, the CRA doesn't mean a...

Pairing is only needed when there's either wireless involved, or it's a universal remote where the one of the various code sets needs to be chosen to match the TV. I think in u/DIYspanner's case this is a simple basic IR remote designed to work a specific range of products, be that TVs or DVD...

Good plan. According to this eBay listing, the remote you have is for DVD/HD Freeview recorders and similar. It's for some kind of box under the TV rather than the TV itself. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/394727932451

According to the user manual, the genuine Toshiba remote for that TV is CT-90300. Is your SE-R0344 the original supplied remote or an aftermarket replacement?

in a lot of cases it's so the big retailer can avoid price competition with other resellers. Having a different model number makes it harder for customers to shop around. For example, the 58E6QTUK (£312) is marginally more expensive than the 58A6QTUK (£290-ish) from other retailers, but Argos...

Glad that's all working for you.

SCART was designed to be a two-way connection, even if it wasn't always fully used. That caused no end of problems with SCART to RCA leads because it was too easy to buy a one-way wired lead, or try to get audio out from RCAs designed to send sound to the TV. The switched SCART adapters helped...

There's really no need to throw yourself under a bus over this. It's a storm in a tea cup. You came on a bit strong with your first post, and so you got a bit of pushback. It's not the end of the world. Plenty of us have been there, myself included.

As long as you're not gaming at higher than 60Hz refresh rate for 4K, then KabelDirekt High-Speed HDMI 18Gbps at £9.99 for 5m should do. It is double shielded; a foil for high frequency shielding (Ethernet and other HDMI cable emissions), and a braid shield for low frequency shielding from...

You've had the benefit of my advice when you had equipment issues previously, here and on another forum. I even offered to call in on you to help fix a particular problem. I haven't insulted you, but you chose the throw around insults. Okay then, John, by all means 'avoid me'. I think I'm...

"To me" - your interpretation. Exactly this. You rushed to a judgement because you're being overly picky a bit of language on the bloody internet of all places. Take a chill pill, John.

Before you launch into a criticism of someone's post, you really should take a little time to make sure you've read it carefully. Where did I say (or write) that aerials and satellite dishes etc had to be dismantled? It's okay, I'll wait. To abandon doesn't mean that the thing has to be...

If you don't want to pay for a TV licence, then you must abandon any way of watching live TV. This means no TV aerial, no satellite dish+receiver, no cable TV box (Virgin), and being very careful with internet-supplied TV. Anything you watch from the same channels that are on Freeview /...

This ^ Speakers A and Speakers B connect to the same amp channel internally. There's only one amplifier module, so A and B are parallel connections to it. It's likely you have a dry joint - a solder connection that has gone intermittent because there's a crack in the solder. The fact that you...

If you already live in a strong signal area, and the room in which you plan to use the aerial faces the transmitter, and there are no significant obstructions in line of sight between the aerial and the transmitter, and it helps if its sitting next to a window, then sure, it'll look like it's...

Ah, that's a different thing. Yes is the answer. Some TVs also have the option to switch off these alerts. That was handy for customers when they were doing all the channel shuffling. Honestly, no. Whatever splitter you're currently running, and that Labgear from Screwfix, are both going to...

Yeah, you're right. They can, and they do. Though it's rarely ongoing for weeks or months at a time. It's relatively easy to check if there's some work on the transmitter for your local area (presuming that's what your aerial is aligned to, of course). There's the BBC tool which also predicts...

"Reception" is a bit of a vague term. There's Quality (signal to noise ratio), and there's Strength which is a measure of signal level. Getting 100% strength is easy. Just bang in a load of amplification. There you go, you could say you have 100% reception, but the signal would glitch a lot if...

Are you talking about improving things for the LG TV in the den if you unplug the coax feed for the HiSense TV? If so, the answer is no. The splitting loss (roughly 4dB) has already happened at the splitter. If anything, having the signal lead unterminated that goes to the HiSense TV could...
