    Looks like that just may well be the one! Thanks (again) :)

    What are these cables coming through my wall? And what cables do i need?

    Looking at google images & thinking you meant surface mounted ;) Does that involve stripping the cable? In the images I'm looking at I can't see how i'd plug this cable in to it & plug a short cable from the TV in to it. It looks to me like i'd have to strip the long cable & connect at the...

    What are these cables coming through my wall? And what cables do i need?

    I think just about the last thing i can ask on this is... can you think of anything that this cable can be terminated to? I'll explain... i have ran cat6 cable from the living room to the hall where the router is (since i want the Smart TV connected via a cable, not WiFi). These have been...

    What are these cables coming through my wall? And what cables do i need?

    Regards the splitter It says a 2 way splitter will only give 40% of the signal strength Is that regardless of whether 2 aerial cables are fitted to the 'OUT' points? If only 1 is connected does it get a higher signal strength % (or full), or is it still 40% only if 1 cable is connected to the...

    What are these cables coming through my wall? And what cables do i need?

    Also i tried attaching the new aerial cable to the splitter but with all the work that has gone on in the living room the threads are all cemented over on the other side so only 1 side is any good. I took a look here: http://www.satcure.co.uk/accs/page15a.htm#ysplit There are 3 splitters with...

    What are these cables coming through my wall? And what cables do i need?

    I took a look at the cable in the bedroom today. Should've done this sooner. I'm talking about the aerial in to the rear which enables us freeview. It's considerably thinner than the aerial cable coming from the roof & the cable i bought this week (WF100), yet it still gets us the picture. I...

    Estimate for replacing a sink?

    Thanks for the advice. Yeah that's what i'm bothered about really with the sink. A little off topic, but we bought a cheapy pan one weekend when we were having pancakes as we had no pan for them. Like i said, it was CHEAP. Stuck it on the hob & the bloody thing started making all sorts of...

    Estimate for replacing a sink?

    I know what you're saying. Nope i'm not after anything fancy. A sink & taps. Just reasonable quality. I'll have to post photos from B&Q website since that's the only place we've been to look, but they'll all be pretty much the same i guess. Sink...

    What are these cables coming through my wall? And what cables do i need?

    Hmm i just had another idea. Unless i send it through the floor, along the joists & then up again through the floorboards where the TV will be. Just i'd prefer not to put holes in the floorboards that's all. EDIT: Would running near electrical cables under the floor cause interference? Or...

    Estimate for replacing a sink?

    And just get the plumber to fit it? I can find plenty that i like the look of. Doesn't really mean that the quality of it is any good though. That's why i was wondering if there was a brand or anything else that i should look out for. I don't know what is good quality or bad quality really...

    What are these cables coming through my wall? And what cables do i need?

    Unfortunately i can't think of any way of getting it from the entry point to where the TV is without going under carpet. The only other way that i can think of is up the walls & i'd need to hide it in trunking which i don't want to have to do as it looks unsightly. We have no coving either. So...

    Estimate for replacing a sink?

    We have a brown sink. I think that says it all really. So i'm wanting it replaced for a silver one & just wondering what sort of price i should be expecting for a plumber to come & do that. Old sink out, new sink in & whatever else along the way. 995mm-x-510mm is the measurements. The current...

    What are these cables coming through my wall? And what cables do i need?

    Thank you Lucid. The "and" part really threw me, but at least that's that sorted. I know some scoff at the price i've paid on the cable you linked, but the saying you get what you pay for. You can also get ripped off too i guess but i'm hoping it's more because the quality is better. We shall...

    What are these cables coming through my wall? And what cables do i need?

    To be honest I don't care about all that tax thing that they got into & Starbucks etc etc. ATEOTD if they have something I want at a price I accept then that's all that bothers me. I worry about my own tax, not these companies. But anyway, I don't get why Lucid said I need "AND one of...

    How long for a handyman to build a garden gate?

    I could have a do myself but I want a nice finish, not an iffy one :) I know it depends on the guys competence in this area but he says on his website that the area he is best in is woodwork, so... I don't want anything fancy. Just a basic gate like the existing one. 109cm wide 180cm high...

    What are these cables coming through my wall? And what cables do i need?

    Ahh damnit, you beat me to it. I was about to say i think i've got the right one & it's that very one :oops: I took a look at that website on my dinner break & was a bit lost by it. It was only after i posted my last post did i look at it again on PC this time & had more time to read & figured...

    What are these cables coming through my wall? And what cables do i need?

    Thought so. Thanks. I found one of them when searching .... also 1.5mtrs. Annoyingly i need more but they all seem to be in short lengths. I measured up & where i think the TV is going we will need 6mtrs of cable, but where it may go then we will need 8mtrs of cable. Unfortunately all the...

    What are these cables coming through my wall? And what cables do i need?

    Well i googled that ... https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=F+to+Belling+Lee+cable&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b&gfe_rd=cr&ei=8ACZV-3oBMjU8gez1b64BA and didn't see any, or am i missing it? So i tried Amazon, since it has everything & threw in "F to belling lee" which didn't turn up anything...

    What are these cables coming through my wall? And what cables do i need?

    Ahh skim read. I wondered why you were talking about if there is no signal in the master bedroom when i'd previously said the master bedroom works perfectly fine :) So just to clarify... All I now need to do is to google a 'shielded coax cable' at a length that suits & it will fit? I was...

    What are these cables coming through my wall? And what cables do i need?

    Well hopefully you'll be wiser on the back of this because i think i've figured out at the very least what goes where & from where. * There is a cable running from the roof all the way down the face of the house & in through an air brick. This is the thickest cable of the lot (not counting the...
