Radios don't have armatures but dynamos do. ;) Amateur? And, so he doesn't feel left out, Winston can't spell "communal". :oops: Practical experience beats theory every time. I can tell you from personal experience that lightning doesn't care what a TV aerial is connected to. There is always a...

This is principally F.A.O. "Lucid" but other experts might also be interested. Chris, take a look at this. I think you might want to download the proposals document (PDF) and the form (.doc) and make your comments:- http://www.theiet.org/resources/standards/dpc-cop-form-connected.cfm

And, since the Amp is already powered, the new socket doesn't need to pass current but it ought to be the correct (screened) type. Use WF100 cable to connect.

If it were FM radio I would suggest a weak signal. As it isn't, I'd guess your settings are wrong. Trying to use surround sound when the transmission is only stereo?

It's actually called sibilance.

Winston, I'm aware that you keep linking to your "Megalithia" web site but it has no credibility. It's a site that appears to have information mainly about big rocks. There's no "About Us" page; no "Contact Us" link. It's completely anonymous and, therefore, holds no authority whatsoever. It's...

Powered splitters draw power from the mains. More info. http://www.satcure.co.uk/accs/HDMI_splitter.htm

This is incorrect and a common misconception. Transmitters such as Rowridge and Crystal Palace have always required a narrow-band "Group A" aerial and still do. Nowadays, NO area in the UK requires a "wideband" aerial (UHF 21 - 68). The widest now recommended is 21 - 60 and this will be reduced...

I don't think that Justin will be too chuffed about being called less professional than an organisation set up to promote aerial sales. His web site is extensive because he's done all the tests and come up with the best solutions. It's quite common for the theorists to suggest one solution...

The foremost UK professional aerial installer says you are mistaken. http://www.aerialsandtv.com/wiringup.html#KinkyCentreCore

Yes, you can daisychain those amplifiers but you'll need a Global AmpAdder. http://www.satcure.co.uk/tech/ampadder.htm If you wanted to try a passive splitter first, this is the one: http://www.satcure.co.uk/accs/page15a.htm#skysplit But it's not guaranteed to work...

Provided that the pipe isn't carrying hot water.

Don't put power through the splitter. Connect the PSU to any of the other amplifier outputs.

That makes no difference.

Probably and the Maplin price will be brilliant if they ever get any in stock. Try http://www.satcure.co.uk/accs/WF100_cable.htm Available in 6 different colours, with or without loose plugs, or plugs fitted for you.

I'm not sure that's right. Think about how double-glazing works.

Alternatively, save your pennies and add a passive splitter to one output. Run the two splitter outputs to the two NEAREST rooms, requiring the shortest cables. This method will minimise signal loss problems. (I did this on my own aerial system.) The splitter should be as far from the amplifier...

My sandals fell apart while on holiday in the sun at 28°C "in the shade". The straps were held with hot-melt adhesive. It doesn't matter what the weather forecast says is the "temperature in the shade" - anything in direct sunlight gets hot hot hot!

Under English law the onus is placed squarely on the actual seller, within the first 6 months, to replace, repair or refund. They must do so "within a reasonable time" (which is generally seen as 3 weeks max.) They have no right to tell you to take or send it elsewhere. The buck stops with the...

^^^^^^ I agree. Replace the aerial cables with proper satellite cable. Run it round the wall and drill through where you need the connections. WF100 is available in 6 colours but you should paint it anyway to protect it from the sun and rain. WF65 is thinner and more discrete but is unsuitable...
