    How to connect four tellys to a satellite

    Let's get this straight. You want to connect five Freesat TVs to one dish? It won't work. For starters you'll need a quad LNB, connect the outputs to a switcher unit, from there to the TVs. EDIT: OwainDIYer, you beat me to it!

    Cyclists should be banned off certain roads

    Cyclists should be banned from certain roads? The government actually wants cyclists on all roads it would seem. Would you ride a bike on the A14? https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.375979,-0.680986,3a,75y,40.81h,82.01t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sARqzElI7ERHjPB46Uxx8Bw!2e0?hl=en

    tripple glazing

    My three suggestions: 1. Hang a duvet from the window frame (inside). 2. Call the RSPCA, the dogs aren't happy. 3. This company makes acoustic triple glazing: http://www.christieglass.com/pricecalculator.php It's easy to replace glazing units and your heating bills will come down.

    I'd remove a bit more plaster to see the bricks. Then you can work out what to remove. I've done something similar. Ripping out the old lintel and opening it right up. My chimney breast is 6 bricks (1.37m) wide. This is my effort...
