Sorry about the quality but you can get an idea of what is around the the stat. The stat is fixed onto the stair wall. Radiator approf 3ft away and LCD TV. The stat has now increased to 24.5 degress and is getting colder in here. Please note that the radiator is stone cold. My feeling is...

Thank you for the recommendation. Purchased it earlier and have installed it. I have left it on the factory settings. The only problem i have is the "actual" room temperature. I have turned the heating off completely and the stat is showing 23.5 degrees and has not changed at all even...
