    sky signal splitters

    i take it that the sky box is fairly old and hasn't got an RF2 output on the back ???? (because that is where you'd take the feed for an additional tv on all the latest boxes, giving no loss of signal either !) You can operate the sky box remotely using a magic eye unit which plugs into the...

    Basic help needed with light switch wiring

    I assume that you mean that when the hall light is off , the switch is protruding at the top,and vice-versa ? All you need to do is unwire the switch again (sorry !!) and turn the switch the other way up ! then rewire. Unfortunately the stair switch is wired for two-way operation which...
