I dont really understand the extension of HDMI with Cat 5e, not looked at that yet, so unsure, and I dont really understand the number of coaxes to each room, or what the RF2 cable does, and what it is. They do a standard 2 gang box with a brush plate cover (rather than a 2g plug etc)...

There is a lot of good advice here. The sum total of all of this advice is to run Sat coax, aerial coax, Cat5e and HDMI around the house. That way you can please yourself. Is there anything else I need to be aware of?

Thanks for all the help. I have been doing some research into this, and I concur with the wireless option's reliability issues. Also, you would need a wireless HDMI unit, and then another for the RF signal for freeview etc etc. The suggested option of installing the widest channel you can...

I was just after some resources or advice for my home renovation project as far as TV AV goes. I am just in the process of installing boxes and cutting chasing in the walls to take the required cabling. Power and lighting are done, but I have to do some research before I cut the amount of...

House is built in 1936 with concrete plain tiles, thus they are 76 years old.

After inspecting the roof of my new house, what I first thought was just paint, is actually a hard coating that has been applied to all the tiles, probably 30 years ago or so. It has bonded so strongly to the concrete tiles that removal also removes the top layer of the tiles themselves. The...

Three different RGIs wanted to replace the boiler, even though it was working correctly (it is 5 years old), due to the discontinuation of this model, and the fact that there was not enough profit in just altering the flue. Having done some research, I have now managed to source the parts to...

The existing roof has bitumen felt lining under the slates (replaced c. 1990), and is in great shape. There are two central vents, one on each of the pitches (back and front). Then there is a 150mm insulation layer installed in 2009 in the inside, with a breathable membrane securing it. Do...

Hi, I am trying to help a friend who has this combi mounted in a kitchen larder. The requirement is to alter the existing flue from a 90 degree wall exit to a roof vented position as a conservatory is desired. Hopefully the boiler can remain in situ (working perfectly, very nicely fitted...

Hi all, If anyone knows what these things are, could they please let me know. If I were to use ebay as an example, my understanding is this: MySQL is populating the databases of users, listings etc. Apache is the server that connects the aplication server to the MySQL database, while...

just been on the phone to Hoval, they say they do not ship out with any insulation... strange why this has it now then?

Hi all, we are reinstalling a Hoval Topgas 45 (it has been moved, but it is being cleaned and overhauled at the moment)... The boiler is large, but it id deceptively large due to the hge metal casing it is in... though I like the fact that there ia good air circulation within the boiler case...

no land draind, just a sump and pump.

Hi all I live in deep suburban North London, and over the last 10 years the back 20% of the garden has been experiencing increasingly worse ground water issues. I'd say the garden is 30 meters long. History, and significant points: 1. Depth of water is about the same (uoto about 5...

go to the vauxhall forum in the UK, im sure there is a fairly easy fix for that... Honda's recode their own plips with a key-turn sequence, thus you can buy on on ebay for £8 and have a new plip... Im a Toyota and Honda man all the way.... I think they make great cars - My Honda Accord...

What will they actually do, and how much should it cost... I don't want her to get ripped off again! Wine and DVD always a winner!

Dear all, My girlfriend has a new build about 5 or so years old... it has a Megaflow HE 130 I think, and a small condensing boiler in the kitchen... I would give the fit about 3 out of 10 generally, but it has all the right parts, and has not been meddled with actually. The issue is that...

Out of that lot, defo the fiesta - but bear in mind the 1.6 TDCI Duratorq is a superior engine to the 1.4 TDCI, and it is more economical with more torque. There are now several ECU remaps you can get for small diesels that will improve throttle response and MPG, and generally optimise for...

Happy new year all... I have a Panasonic Lumix FS5 compact digicam, and I though it might be worth an ask on here before a google... Are there issues with using ebay replacement batteries in my Lumix, there are conflicting reports, but I just replaced my Fiju after 10 years, and I used...

Is there anything I should be aware of when fitting theis Hoval... like it not working without some code from Hoval or anything??? I donlt want any nasty surprises
