    Broadband cabling inside house

    Yes. Most installations are done by OpenReach but then you connect it to whichever ISP's router you go with.

    Broadband cabling inside house

    For fibre you will normally have a small box on the outside of the property where the fibre connection comes in off the street. There would then be an ONT box on the opposite side of the wall inside of your property which then connects to your router by ethernet cable.

    What is the best router?

    I like the Ubiquiti Dream Machine which has everything in one and lets you create isolated networks too.

    External Hard drive for backups

    A hard drive won't fit on to a DVD and recordable DVD's are not very reliable. They do not last long. A hard drive is your best option. Either a USB hard drive or a NAS, which plugs in via ethernet and requires a little bit more setup. This would mean you can access it from any of your...

    Hard Disk Video Camera Dropped In Sea

    The salt water will have probably caused short circuits which could have fried the main board. There is a possibility the hard drive will still work however it will entirely depend on how much water got in and what state it is in. You could take it to pieces and take the drive out however unless...

    Is it actually a built in hard drive it is recording to or is there a memory card that can come out of it?

    Revisiting CCTV

    Hikvision is only available to the trade but I use a company that will still sell to you directly. I got all my kit from them and they had great support too. PM me for details. I'd avoid the budget HiLook version. You'll miss out on several features. How many cameras are you thinking about...

    low disk space

    There are some Acer's and Chrome books that often come with a tiny SSD hard drive as they believe everyone does everything "in the cloud" these days. Since you re-installed, just check in your C: drive that there isn't a Windows.old folder which would be the previous install. This can then be...

    My prized VHS videos need transferring to DVDs.

    Plus many TV's let you plug in your removal drives into the TV directly and play straight off it.

    Put You Off?

    It is just muscle. You see it in fish too. The animal is completly dead. Not going to stop me eating meat or fish.

    My prized VHS videos need transferring to DVDs.

    It's often down to the type of dye used on DVDR's. They often have trouble being read. Keeping them as files and also backed up on an external drive is best. If they are very precious memories you may also want to keep a backup off site too.

    My prized VHS videos need transferring to DVDs.

    It doesn't need to be on a DVD to be in digital format. Something like a USB VHS convertor will encode straight onto your PC. Then you can keep the files forever. Or then if you want to, burn them to DVD but unless you have a player, much better keeping the files on the PC or hard drive as most...

    Anybody tried recovering iPhone data?

    You will find a load of software on the Internet claiming to do this for you. Nine times out of ten it will either not work or it will install crap on to your computer. So....best thing would be to take it to a specialist. But you will probably end up paying quite a bit!

    My prized VHS videos need transferring to DVDs.

    I would personally avoid transferring to DVD. Those recordable DVD discs don't last forever. Instead, I would look at purchasing a VCR with USB output. There are plenty of all in one kits you can buy that include the software too. You can then transfer the VHS tapes to your PC and once...

    Longetivity of Li-Ion Batteries (SilverLine Drills)

    Every time you charge and use the power up, you are doing a cycle. The manufacturers often state how many average cycles the battery will last. When a device is not going to be used for a while, it is best to have it charged to about 60%. It is better for the batteries health.

    Do these walls need replastering/reskimming?

    If it is completly dry now then I would just paint it. You won't see it once you've put shelves in and your wife has stuffed it full of towels, bed linen, and clothes.

    How much would conservatory conversion cost?

    Hi everyone and happy new year, Currently got a conservatory which is alright but is freezing in winter. Some of the roof panels are also not in the best of ways. I'd like to have the conservatory converted in to part of the house as a proper extension. See photo of how it looks at the moment...
