Hi, thanks for the quick reply. Good to know that I'm ok to proceed, and yes it is on an RCD too. Can't supply a photo at the mo as I'm not at home, but basically as described its a rough hole with 20mm conduit just inside and a flex (looks pretty substantial so hopefully is of a suitable...

Hi, Since we moved in (mid 90's) we have had a FCU spurred off the ring in the back of a cupboard in the garage, out of which emerges standard flex running about 6ft around the wall and out of a hole (which looks to be sleeved with 20mm conduit) into a proper outdoor socket on the wall...

Technically although you can run off one feed you won't get full functionality. As per the above, you will need two separate cables (albeit usually joined in 'shotgun' fashion) from dish to Sky+ box, you can't split them as per a terrestrial tv aerial. Look for 'modular' face plates which...

Not used the KA function personally yet, and unfortunately won't really be able to test until the weekend at the earliest to see if your result text was correct. According to the manual the format used should be KA 07000000000,10. so I'm just wondering if the space you have following the...

I've had the Advent Controls dialler attached to a Texecom system for a while now, works very well, you can program it to send out a 'keep alive' text every so often so no worries on that score. It came with a stub antenna but I ordered a higher gain one for a few quid from eBay which made a...

Not a chance that can happen.... My wife has seen it! :lol:

Really? :shock: Blimey, I don't like that, not if its going to destroy the fitting every time! Thanks for the replies, good to hear that I can tackle the replacements myself, didn't know that, and that the way they are connected is also ok (though a small junction box may be a good...

Hi, Please see pic... Never seen a fluorescent tube do this before, any idea what happened (apart from the obvious "it got hot"!!) ? The fittings (2 in total) have been under the kitchen cupboards for at least the last 6-7 years I've been living here, never had a problem with them...

Well here is an unexpected twist then! So NOT against the regs then? I thought I'd read something about it but all I can find now is the link below.... which appears to be US based and hence perhaps different regs (or 'the code' ?)...

Ok, thanks, it'll no doubt be done at the same time as the bathroom so guess that it'll be someone far more qualified than I who does the actual work but at least it appears 'do-able'

Yes I'm afraid - its main powered.

Further info from trawling the net... Apparently the max current draw of the sonos play 1 is only 1A and someone says their electrician has wired it into the lighting circuit. This would certainly be easier in my case. Assuming 'agreeable' with the Regs etc, how would it be done...

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the observation of the bathroom zones but perhaps luckily in the examples I've heard about (and also as would be in my case) the sonos units were mounted on a bracket at ceiling height outside of the zones. Good thought about using a flex outlet plate but...

Hi, When we eventually get round to re-doing our bathroom, It'd be nice to have a sonos play:1 in there so the Mrs can listen to music in the bath. For those not aware, the play:1 is basically a humidity resistant 'wireless' speaker - http://www.sonos.com/shop/products/play1. Sonos...

Hi, Where is your mains outlet and/or how will you be getting power to the BT Hub? If the BT installer is happy to replace your existing extension socket, then as you said you could use the wiring to run off to other extensions if necessary (you can do this yourself if BT don't/won't -...

Yep. http://www.shop.bt.com/products/bt-home-hub-5-90RY.html

As long as you've got a letterbox at the house don't worry - the packaging of the HomeHub is designed to fit through them so postie shouldn't need to knock on the door and it shouldn't be left outside either!

Looks similar to one I purchased which works fine with the PC COM and Win 7. For a couple of quid nothing to lose really and can always return it if you need to. Make sure you purchase from a UK seller or you'll be waiting a while for the slow boat to arrive!

Hi, I've still got the installation manual from using this panel, on Page 7 it says... SOUND OPTIONS 2 2 Enter 1 Disable exit / entry sounds in part and home set Would that do the trick ??? edit: reading further, as an alternative, how about setting the night set exit time...

Have you tried all the networks? Bear in mind that some providers 'piggyback' onto other networks (e.g. TescoMobile and GiffGaff both use O2's network) so make sure when testing you're covering all the main ones i.e. O2, EE, Vodafone - be careful with Three as some devices can't use 3G (or 4G)...
