Can't say I agree with you there. I spoke to Labgear support who said that the loop is only required if the switch is set to "Sat". Under the currently working configuration, if I set the switch to Sat and create the loop by connecting "TV" to "Return" on the faceplate, all TVs work as expected...

The issue seems to have been resolved. I reversed the wiring into the triplex part of the PSW351T. This means that it is wired contrary to the instructions that came with the plate but it does work correctly. The TV connected to "TV" gets signal. If I connect "TV" to "Return" directly and move...

There's no other equipment there at the moment. Simply the TV connecting into the wall plate. If the TV connects to the plate "TV", it gets no signal. If the TV connects to the plate "Return", it does.

It's cabled exactly as per the attached instructions. 3 bits of coax run from the distributor to the plate: Distributor "Down Link Out" connects to plate "combined" input Distributor "LNB 1 Out" connects to plate "sat" input Distributor "Up Link In" connects to plate "return" The switch on...

If I connect the TV to the "Return" socket on the PSW351T, it gets a good signal. I thought I must have cabled it wrong, despite having tested it many times. I tested it again and the wire that connects to the Return on the PSW351T is the wire that comes from the "Up Link In" socket on the...

All 3 have been checked. (a) I have checked continuity on the distributor side between centre and outer of the F type. There is none suggesting it's not shorted. I will try it with only the quadplex wired in to see if it's the sat feed or return causing it. Possible? (b) Double checked this -...

Understand what you're saying but Freeview already works on the other TVs. It's the TV that is connected to the PSW351T wall plate that does not receive Freeview

Thanks, Lucid. Are you saying that without a box with RF In and RF Out the PSW351T won't work when connected directly to the "Down Link"? I'll give it a go on a standard output socket. If I did, in the future, want to hook up a Freesat box what would be the wiring configuration for that? Would...

Having recently cabled the house, I put in the necessary wiring (3 bits of coax to the living room) for a Sky+ install... in case I ever wanted it. I have a Labgear LDU608G distributor connected into a Labgear PSW351T. There's 2 LNB feeds and a UHF feed connected into the distributor...

Thanks, Paul. Do you have a GSM dialer than can automatically send test messages or do you do this manually?

I'd like to set up a GSM dialer for SMS to replace my landline connected voice dialer. This would simply alert me rather than going via a 3rd party. I don't really want to pay monthly for a contract nor do I want to top up a pay-as-you-go sim every time the credit expires due to non-use. Does...

That would indeed change the flow rate, in the same way that turning the stop tap half off would. Static pressure would remain the same, however.

I've read mixed things about these - is the consensus from the pros on here that they are worth installing or not? If so, I'm looking at the BoilerMag at around £50-60. Is this a good choice or is another model recommended?

I have 3 zone valves which are all closed when the heating and hot water turn off. The boiler does pump overrun when there is no more call for heat. This process requires the bypass such that there is still water moving around. It's not a combi. The pump is external to the boiler and is...

I have a Worcester 40CDi Classic Regular boiler. The valve ranges from 0.1-0.5 bar. From various things I've seen, you need the pump head and boiler minimum flow rate to calculate this. The pump is adjustable between 0m and 6m head, but it's always been set on 5m. Not sure if this is the...

Thanks @Elkato531. I spoke to Worcester this morning and checked on the pump point. They said that the pump is OK to be installed on the return as long as its a pressurized system as there's less chance of it pulling air into the system, as there would be with an open vented system. I'll look at...

I recently had a warranty fault with a Worcester boiler. When the engineer came to repair it, he noted that it had been installed wrong in 2 aspects: :: The pump was connected to the wiring centre, not the boiler. This prevented it from doing its over-run :: The system has no bypass - I presume...

What are the semantics of bracing off the wall? I assume resin fixings?

The joist is about 1" away from a parallel wall so doing anything on the back side would be near impossible. Open to other suggestions about the best way to joint.

I've cut out a 1600mm section of rotten 9x3 joist and I plan to replace it with a fresh bit of 9x3. To join the two, I will screw another bit of 9x3 over the joint using M10 coach screws. What length of overlap should be given on each side of the join and what is the required centre...
