    Audio dropping out on TV channels

    Don't know if this helps at all, similar issue, no confirmed solution but the thread ends after someone suggests HDMI interference. Have you unplugged/removed everything interference generating near by just in case? There's references to faulty boards etc as well and attenuation of the signal. I...

    Removing tiles from paramount plasterboard wall

    I know this post is very old now but I'm in a very similar position with paramount walls and wanting to affix things to it (wall hung basin furniture, kitchen units etc). My thinking is to do similar to what @bathstyle suggested and channel out the eggboxing where I want to put studs in (keeping...

    Prep for tiling a shower

    I've just started gutting a very dated en-suite which is going to have all new tiling, flooring, sanitary ware etc.. In the shower I've removed the tiles, taken off the frame/door and removed the tray (which was slightly recessed into the wall, I assume to minimise water leaking around the...

    Tiltable down lights needed, advice please

    +1 for the Inceptor Micro, I got some a while back. Seem to remember the cutout dimension is specified as 65mm, I tried this and couldn't get the light to fit into the hole (cable comes off the side at the top IIRC which makes it larger than 65mm).

    Freesat / Freeview Distribution

    How would you be controlling the freesat box in the loft? Phone app over WiFi? If it were me, which it will be at some point soon, I'd run coax and cat5e (or maybe 6) to all places where I was expecting to need connectivity / put a TV and patch everything in the loft so sounds like you've got it...

    HDMI to VGA... sort of

    Yea the HDFury devices strip HDCP from the signal and can send the signal to a VGA output. The virgin box would be expecting an HDCP compliant display on the other end of the HDMI cable which is what the HDFury is pretending to be. So you've got two digital sources, and one analog display. But...

    HDMI to VGA... sort of

    So the projector doesn't have an HDMI in? Or isn't HDCP compliant? Just wondering why the Fury is required here and not using HDMI direct from source devices to projector..

    Routing HDMI cables to opposite side of lounge

    Worth considering a wireless HDMI transmitter / receiver pair? How many source devices are there (you said 'cable box etc')? Could you do with one cable (or one wireless transceiver set) and an HDMI switch at the source end? If it were me and it was to be cabled, I'd run Cat5/6 and use...

    How much can I cut off door?

    Not sure if this helps, it lists the trim allowance for each door and the jeld wen site gives an indication of the construction of the sides (you might get an idea just looking at the top of the door). I guess if you take too much off it could jeopardise the integrity for the fire door? I'm...

    Alarm cabling

    I'm about to start wiring a residential property to install a new alarm and was after some advice about what cabling to install.. from reading these forums it seems the general consensus is to install 8 core everywhere to allow adding extra devices to zones or to have spares in case there is a...
