If you're going to be running power to it, why not just stuck in some conduit for pulling signal cables through too? You should only need one, maybe two signal cables.

Coke spoils it. Just JD (silver select if you're pushing the boat out) over ice is fine.

Indeed, wireless power is a bit expensive and only works over short distances (a couple of meters, max).

I'd guess the same as when a fitting/lamp/switch fails... replace it.

Is this your primary box or an additonal box (multiroom)? If it's just the primary, get a cheap extension lead and let the "engineer" plug in to that to do his installation checks. When he's gone unplug it and put the cable away somewhere. If you use all the PPV credit on the box you'll need...

Maybe in your experience, but my experience is quite different; Out of the 20 in this house, 19 are the originals from when it was renovated coming up to 3 years ago. The one that did go, didn't trip the breaker or RCD. Quality lamps and fittings installed with the recommended space seems to...

He posted his response less than 2 minutes after yours, there's a good chance your response wasn't there when he originally hit reply ;)

Holy crap, is that wallpaper or punishment for something very bad?

However, the set could still be fitted with a 720 panel, it accepts the 1080 signal, then scales it down to fit the 720 panel. I believe this is still allowed by the "HD Ready" reccomendations. Probably best to leave it at 1080i (or even better - auto, so for HD broadcasts it'll output 1080i...

We have similar connectors (if not the same) in our UPS battery racks for easy swapping out of batteries.

Get a different brand of socket with the terminals in more suitable location?

That's what the woman you take back to your room is for!

Natural selection at work. It burns a bit, they're stupid enough to ignore it, it burns their house down, they die. Unfortunatly others may also die with them.

It's faulty. Exchange it. Assuming you didn't purchase it marked as faulty then you shouldn't need to repair it to get it working. Sounds like you fitted the wrong wattage of bulbs to your old fitting and the Tx couldn't supply them with what they needed.

And don't forget - don't touch the lamp capsule with your fingers or you risk them failing early or worse, exploding.

Comet have always liked their monster garbage. You can get something that'll do exactly the same for about a fiver. I wonder if they're still up to their old trick of connecting a blu-ray player to a tv via a cheap 50p composite cable and another via a "super dooper £80 monster hdmi cable"...

You'll probably find the "headphone jack" you have is wrong, as it'll only have 3 connectors (left, right, ground) where as USB will require 4 (D+, D-, +V, ground). As it's not really a standard type of cable, it's doubtful anyone will be able to tell you what to connect where (unless they...

Get yourself a cheap white rope light (plenty of them round at this time of year) and then coil it appropriatly inside the "K" to illuminate it. If you wanted, you could even use one of those colour changing ones, have the "K" scroll through several colours ;) Edit: or as above, 3 short...

I'm guessing it'd be fine for paulpp seeing as he mentiones a 6 way amp in his opening post - giving 2 more outputs than he originally wanted.

Similar here but with an octo lnb; 2 to sky hd in lounge, 2 to sky hd in kitchen, 2 to sky hd in bedroom, leaving 2 spare outputs for future use. Much easier and cheaper than a decent multi-switcher and good enough for most people (unless you live in a mansion with loads of bedrooms).
