That is certainly my understanding and indeed that is the reading I have been trying in vane to give E-ON but they insist on billing me with this other strange number. I had a couple of very long telephone calls with E-ON's meter technical guy, I even emailed them a picture of the 9 key meter...

Thanks RandomGrinch, the citizens advice is what I have always done to get a meter reading ie Pressing the Keypad 9 button., since transferring to E-ON, they use a reading which is not the one I see for Total Actual Import, they are using another one which is obtained from pressing 6 key, four...

I had a smart Electric meter forced on me about three years ago. All seemed to be OK, reading the meter was relatively simple, Press 9 on the keypad and a series of readings are displayed, the first one was IMP KWH (IMP indicated Import) and then a meter reading, the next readings were totally...

Hi ETAF, Thanks so much for your time and help. That was certainly a very detailed response and an education. We do have a Richer Sounds outlet about 15 miles from me, I will be in there next week to have a look. The video you kindly included was very interesting and the presenter seemed to be...

The thread has been very useful and educational for me. ETAF is helping with specific choices after which I will do as you suggest. Thanks for your help.

Hi ETAF, I am not looking for a high performance Hi-Fi. Cinema sound system, all I am trying to achieve is a reasonably good sound output from my 2021 LG OLED TV, as the inbuilt speakers are OK but not by any sense of the imagination reasonable.

My short list presently is the Hisense HS 214 2.1, Samsung HW S60s, LG SK1 and TCL TS 8111. These seem to be reasonable prices and reasonable reviews. I have a hight limitation of 9.4 cms, any bigger and I would need to raise the TV wall bracket and I would rather not do that. Mrs Hysteresis has...

Totally agree. I need to grab the Bull by the horns and go for it. After all, £100 is not a great deal of money to test the water. Thanks again for your Help.

Thanks for the advice ETAF, clearly your experience is far greater than I will ever have, and your advice is invaluable. I find demonstrations in the shop are not really representative as to what you get in your own home. Room shape and furnishings effect everything. Similarly when you get a...

Thanks mattylad, clearly in these cases you get what you pay for. In some cases though, you pay £200 and get £50 quality.

You are the one to judge that Mattylad. Seriously though - What do you think, I'm struggling to make a decision , the more I read the more I get confused.

I am fancying this Sound bar:- https://www.amazon.co.uk/HISENSE-Soundbar-Wireless-Bluetooth-Powerful-Black/dp/B08DJ8P377/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 Any Comments from all of you Knowledgeable guys ???? One question, in my ignorance, I expected to plug the thing into my HDMI/ARC output...

Thanks everyone for your replies. I know a great deal more about sound Bars than I did a week ago. The replies raise a lot more questions for me to research the answers to. I have used this DIYnot web site for many years and I think it is a fantastic medium to chat to people far more...

Bought a 55' LEG OLED TV a couple of months ago. I am delighted with the quality of the picture and the facilities it offers but the sound is OK but not Good. I have read other posting on sound bars and it all starts to get very complicated with conversations on Surround Sound and 5.1 versus...

EFLImpudence, You are missing the whole point. The whole point of protection is Human Safety. If life is not threatened then what purpose would be served by saving the cable or any other hardware, apart from financial. A lot Luminairs do not have any form of protection other than the fuse, just...

The fuse would still be required for for safety under Fault conditions of the equipment being powered.

I certainly don't consider a 13A plug to be dangerous if used in the intended designed application, but the application you describe is certainly not what the 13A Plug was designed for. I personally have never heard of a Commando to Plug adaptor. I, personally, would take the effort to install...

An Extension lead is considered a very Temporary installation, what I am installing is permanent . I think the suggestion you have made is unsafe and would not consider it as any electrical installation I would have anything to do with. Bur thanks for the reply.

i am about to install some garden electrics, just to explain, I am a Charted Electrical Engineer but am now retired and not fully up to date with the IEE regs. I would ask it what I propose installing would meet with the present regulations for Electrical Certification. I want a couple of...
