You can send pretty much any signal down a cat5e cable... Data, TV, Alarm, Phone, CCTV.... Only thing is for you main ariel to distribution box use some nice 100 oHm Coax.... then CAt5e from thier..

You wont have too many probs in a home setup.... its not as if you will have a cable run at its max length anyway.... 100m.... Most cabling is shielded.... as its called... Shielded twisted pair... Home lighting etc shouldnt cause any probs, if it does you will never notice it... Just keep a...

Have to say, sounds like your going the right way. Wireless is great for laptops, pds`s et, but for a more stable connection wired is the way to go. You say Cat5..... I think you should go at least Cat5e cableing, or if your budget allows, go for Cat6 (This will allow future proofing). My...

I use Cement... Just cover said area with dry powder cement. It soaks up pretty much anything, and this is the way oil spills are cleaned up on racetracks.

Hi all, just been looking at a semi with my mate, he wants to buy it, but we been up in the loft and noticed that the dividing wall doesnt quite meet the roofline.... (next door must have loft lights in thier loft) as we can see them (or the light coming through). Anyway, He was thinking...

Why not fit some cross batterns to lift the new floor? Id also fit some fire hoods to the lights. I wouldnt go putting too much wieght on them modern flimsy loft joists.... unless you want to get cracked or worse collapsing cielings...

Can you post a picture of your handy work, and your problem area?

Got to jump in here, and say something.... What a waste of a post this is, everyone has to learn somewhere, and yes you give some pointers but try be a little more constructive.... Oh and can you tell me what a "LINE" is..... never heard of that before..... LMAO.... Amaturs indeed..... as to...

TO update... i found the info.. The CAO recommends that a person watch TV from a distance of 5x the width of the picture. I put this theory to the test. The width of the picture literally means the width of the viewing screen on the television. Do not get this confused with the diagonal...

Sounds to me like someone baught a tv too big for the room... Big tv`s are not always best.... Most people just go buy the biggest they can get for budget and dont even think about the possible issues. All manufactueres state a certain viewing distance for optimum picture image... I know...

Can you prove either of these statements?..... Firstly, they do thier business in my garden and dont cover it up... Secondly if you can prove that LAW exists about cats going out at night, it could come in very handy for several others on here.... If its ilegal, then surely its...

Hi, did you get the Double or single sided version? Anyway, you need to aim for a 50mm airgap MINIMUM between the rafters and the tiles/felt. I tend to leave 50mm towards the bottom of the eaves and same again at the top... (Appex). Its very important to allow air to be able to...

Just a thaught but will i be better replacing the current isolation switch that has a socket built into it, with just a switch?
