Personally, I'd rip out ceramic/stone tiles and fit something warmer underfoot like a nice hardwood floor. Any of the Tile places will help you design a ruinously expensive to run electric mat heating system. Look at overlay wet UFH as well?

Those numbers listed by Wayners (I can't easily read the screenshots) are randomly completely 'wrong' (by the makers not W) but can be interpreted... 65K = 6500 Kelvin and daylight clear blue sky. 5K= 5000K is more overcast daylight. 4K= 4000 k is a 'neutral' white, warmer tones than the...

Well...s next the Sea? Novel. Has someone applied sealant around the pole? Or is it just dirt. The poorly galvanised brackets are rusted well. Both ATV and Wright aerials have a rogues gallery for 'unusual' aerial installs. Is there a roofing/guttering site that has the same?

Really. Cabled ethernet connections are invariably more reliable than flaky wifi. Even the most recent wifi stuff has issues. Yes.

No it won't fix the dodgy WiFi signals... Most likely is congestion in the locality (other wifi networks from neighbours). $ky Q or old-fashioned $ky HD? A cable is always better than wifi. Get some ethernet cables installed asap and forget Glass. I hate Powerline adapters but they can work...

Cancel cancel cancel. $ky Glass has a very very bad picture quality reputation for the exorbitant cost. Or at least they did. Check sensible review sites like AVForums. Buy a decent TV and rent the $ky Stream box instead...

Dynamic Label Segment (scrolling text typically) also known as RadioText on RDS FM. BBC Radio 2 has track info and presenter stuff which changes during the programme (for example) in DLS. The <DLS> appearing is just a Roberts foible of display programming by them. I have a Denon unit that...

Have you read https://www.cineworld.co.uk/static/en/uk/blog/cineworld-special-formats-imax-4dx-screenx and the embedded links to the different formats / video explanations? Only you know the price(s) and if you feel they might add anything to the experience for you.

Likely the batteries will come with a set of bolts and nuts... I seem to recall them being in little plastic bags with our purchase of 20/22 Ah ones of different brands. Would be worth a check with supplier to be on the safe side. I've bought golf buggy batteries in the past when cheaper than...

Anyone replacing storage heaters would surely consider heat pumps with a COP of 3-4, making the cost attractive and single rate electricity tariffs. Air to air heat pumps like I use to heat in the shoulder months / backup to my oil burner are an option as well. 1:1 electric heating is so last...

There are three LF sites: Droitwich, England Westerglen, near Falkirk, South Scotland Burghead, on the Moray Firth, North Scotland As lots of the weird tariffs supported by RTS signalling are in Scotland they can keep those two going for that area (and some spill into northern England and NI...

Oops my bad for not reading whole thread accurately, rather skimming it. BUT that meter pic is badly out of focus... and doesn't show enough of where the tails come from and go to (DNO cutout, consumer fuseboards etc.,.) imho... Landis & Gyr two register meter... model type C12/2d? CI 2/2d...

So you don't and have never had RTS control of your electricity supply! Most will have two meters as shown in this energy saving trust link https://energysavingtrust.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/rts-meter-example.jpg.webp

You'd never see the difference - probably even with two side by side. TV studio lamps (tungsten halogen) are 3200K at 240V --- cameras are/were lined up as fader 7 = 2700K so that no significant colour change was perceived between around fader 4 and 10 in use. Now, colour rendering index...

Wrong. It will have a default switching schedule that it runs. See my post #12. But Smart Meters are the solution for RTS units faulting/failing and losing correct time which may mean they default to the worst possible rate/not switch at all. RTS currently will / should be switching the...

That Osram lamp number is 12 Volt (ac or dc) 50 Watts, 680 lumen 'warm white' 2700K approx. 36 degree beam angle. Pretty sure they had a glass front to the lamp - which may or may not matter with a LED, all depending on how the lamp is retained in the fitting. The LED you suggest is a tad...

Rowlocks. This is from the link to the RTS system I gave - under "Spec" So there will be a default switching programme the units should use. It's trivial to transmit that to all units while the kit is still broadcasting.

The R4 LF (low frequency) valves were end of life when I was working (2005) and ex-BBC Transmission staff had already bought all existing stocks up. My understanding is that the RTS units should still switch at the last programmed time ... but the time will drift with no daily correction ...

Blackout curtain, blind or shutters. Anything else will allow shadows / silhouettes to be seen. If you are that concerned someone is watching your bathroom window.

Few (if any) scripts have the PDs on them. Measuring with a ruler is the standard old-fashioned way. Relying on the machines is the modern. Both should give the same answer. Specsavers are franchises... Variable feast between Excellent and Pants... Not all staff in any branch are as...
