    Ceiling light fitting help?

    No. Find the cable that lights the lamp, then connect E & N to the lamp terminals, then connect the brown wire to a terminal block together with the brown wire from the other cable. Then connect the blue wire from the other cable to the L of the lamp. Connect all the earths together. Put some...

    Ceiling light fitting help?

    No! That will possibly hurt your MCB. Connect your new light to one of the cables as you'd exptect - LtoL, NtoN, EtoE, put the other wires into seperate terminal blocks to isolate them. Switch on the appropriate MCB. If the lamp lights, you have the supply cable. If not, you have the switch...

    One cable will be the L N &E supply, The other will be L SWL & E, you need to establish which is which. The SWL should have been over sleeved brown.

    DAB radio possessed by the devil, in the form of TalkSport

    It may be doing a scheduled rescan of available channels at * o'clock in the morning or something & defaulting to Talksport afterwards. If so, the s/w developer didn't get it quite right. You may be able to confirm this by forcing a rescan manually & seeing how it behaves after. If you are...

    DAB radio possessed by the devil, in the form of TalkSport

    A bit hard to say without knowing the architecture of the internals. The "last state" must be stored separately to the presets, otherwise you'd be loosing those too. You say some time ago - how long have you had it? Has it always behaved like this? It may be as crude as a coin cell holding the...

    DAB radio possessed by the devil, in the form of TalkSport

    And from a reputable brand like "Zennox" from the Daily Mail.* I don't think the mistake lies with DAB. Do you see what I'm getting at?! Send it back & get something else. *Edit: Telegraph.

    DAB in the car..............what a waste of money!!

    I used to have a Pug 206, I mounted a cheap Halfords mag mount DAB aerial to the inside boot frame so the whip was across the rear window - results from this were acceptable. This wasn't possible in my next car, so I bought a self adhesive job from DAB on wheels - it was absolutely hopeless...

    Best vintage turntable

    If you are serious about SQ. You need to set your largest budget on the source equipment - "**** in **** out" is the equation. You can't polish a turd. There is no way on earth that a graphic equaliser can improve the original signal. And don't play it through a sound bar FGS.

    Samsung 50” picture gone

    3D TVs were a gimmick from the start - looks like the manufacturers have realised this.

    Virgin

    Yes, I will admit that the last time I saw a BT box left open to the elements - I reported it. Only because it was the box that I am immediataly connected to & didn't want any down time if some drinker put his/her boot into it! Obviously Virgin or it's customers don't care.

    I appreiciate it's a game chasing vandalism, but these boxes are within at least a quarter mile radius. It's the harm that rainwater can do that would concern me. Luckily not a Virgin subscriber. Plus - these have been in this condition for years.

    Keyless entry and what will happen?

    I'm not sure to be honest - it's a Nissan. There is an emergancy key inside the fob, so there must be somewhere to put it! As for disabling the keyless - prob not.

    I'm amazed that Virgin's network actually works at all. 20180606_164209 by gman76 posted 10 Aug 2018 at 8:59 PM20180606_164359 by gman76 posted 10 Aug 2018 at 8:59 PM20180608_175626 by gman76 posted 10 Aug 2018 at 8:59 PM20180612_174107 by gman76 posted 10 Aug 2018 at 8:59 PM
