Now now Winston - do I detect a little cynicism there!!!! But, point taken (being a retired engineer with professional qualifications!) :censored: S

Thanks Winston, out of interest then, if your dish or LNB were faulty, is that a chargeable repair item? I assumed that all the kit was rented and all repairs covered by the rental agreement. Engineers or Installers, obviously I meant a person whatever their title is. And also, who is to say...

A thought? SkyQ is a rented service which I assume covers LNB, dish, cable and box(es). In theory then, if you cancel SkyQ, Sky 'could' legally remove all items? I am certain they would want the box posting back but would ignore other items? I do not, for one minute, think that Sky are going to...

Thanks Gasguru. I think I have sorted my issues now. My last post was really to acknowledge that I had had a response from Bunny (some time ago...) but had not responded with thanks (due to being unaware of his response.) Any further readers please understand that I consider this thread closed...

Apologies - better late than never. I got no indication there had been another reply after my last post so didn't see Bunny's - thanks for the reply Bunny.:!: A good further way down the line and with things working as expected I have pursued no further changes. Incidentally, I had a 'firing...

Thank you Taylortwocities for your excellent point, excellently made. I would not normally respond other than to say thank you but a bit of background may help? Firstly being a retired tradesman in the electrical industry I fully understand the need to keep our tradespeople in employment. I...

EFLImpudence. Cheers Mate. SB

:( This is the nearest I could find to an 'embarrassed' emoji !! After EFLImpudence's comment yesterday, I couldn't wait to go back to go back to this, which I did this afternoon. And ! Yes, I had wired to the wrong Neutral bar. Don't ask me how!! Thanks all for reading and thanks for the help...

Thanks EFLImpudence - I am certain you are right. Back on it on Tuesday so will confirm, but in the back of my mind I am certain I was using the LHS Neutral strip and a RHS MCB position of the dual box. I suspect I will be reporting back complete with 'embarrassed' Emoji! My C&G Electrical...

Hi again all. A little advice please? I fitted a Screwfix sourced LED security light with PIR motion sensor. It is fitted in a hallway next to the electric cupboard with 3m of direct cable. I used a spare circuit breaker. On testing, as soon as the circuit breaker is switched on (and the...

Hi lamchamps. Thanks for that - I have realised that there is a lot of trial and error on setting this up and I think I have found a happy medium based on detection area and sensitivity. I am now recording motion both day and night. I just have to get the sensitivity right because rain and...

Update I have now managed to get the motion detect recording! My timeline is grey with motion detect events in orange. BUT....it only seems to detect and record motion at night. At night I have many triggers, largely from moths, but as soon as daylight hits I get no recorded motion events at...

Anyone help with the setting up of Motion Detect based on my attached menu pix? A while ago I manged to see my recorded time progress line with different colours to denote detected motion and no detected motion but I don't seem to be able to get back to that configuration. Thanks S

Still no luck with this.

Hi, Thicky here again, thanks for assistance so far, but I am still struggling to get this thing to do what I want, which is to record based on motion detected. I am getting constant recording. I have taken the liberty of uploading some pix to try and indicate what I have done (wrong?)...

Thanks for that, will continue to play !! SjH

Hi all, maybe someone can help here? I purchased the above system from Ebuyer for two reasons. One it was cheap (:)), and two I wanted to have a play with something I had never had before. Didn't really get it for security, more to monitor wildlife in my garden. Unfortunately I have no...

Hi all, a final note. Said thermometer arrived and was swiftly consigned to the bottom drawer. Useless. I then decided to buy an infrared one, not much dearer but could be used for loads of other things. Anyway it arrived and is very impressive in appearing to be accurate and instant readings...

Thanks Bun. My boiler was installed in Sept 2013 so assume your post 2012 will apply. I have not checked D.14 yet because since I did a bit of 'layman's balancing' I am getting far better results. The nearest rad (bathroom towel rail) lockshield was wide open, so I have that now well reduced...

Thanks 831Bunny, I did mean to include comments re D.14 earlier. 1. Agree first para - have no external bypass and have read up on Vaillant's auto one. 2. Interesting re towel rails - not heard of that before, but fits with my findings. 3. In my Installers manual it suggests that D.14 is not...
