Thanks, but I'm trying to get the Virgin remote to do the lot, which I did previously on the Grundig, but no luck so far with the Sony.

Good Afternoon, In the last week I have bought a XH95 (49"), it was from a deceased estate at auction, but the remote is missing, and I must say I am very impressed after setting it all up,I have the sound via hdmi Arc into a panasonic home theatre system, and the input is Virgin Media Tivo into...

Cheers Lucid, so the native refresh rate is the important one, and I can ignore the motion refresh rate, and 50Hz is fine but 100 hz is better? I just want to get the important bits clear before I take the plunge, Thanks.

That was excellent Rodders, So in my case, as in just watching ordinary channels and maybe programmes on catch up like I player etc then 1920x1080 HD is fine, and a TV with 3840x2160UHD is wasted if I dont stream? I thought the majority of TV's were 50/60 or 100/120hz refresh rate? so 600 is huge.

Thanks for all reply's, I'm thinking I might give this model a swerve, after reading comments on forums, if I'm correct this is approx a 10 year old model,? and is 1920x1080, rather than 3840x2160 ? utlra HD?, which I think is better for normal TV watching? I can't quite fathom what the refresh...

Good Afternoon everybody, I have a chance to buy the above tv from a close relative for £100, ish, and for the life of me I can't find the specs anywhere, I'd like to know things like....the refresh rate, probably 50 or 60 maybe 100,? the year of manufacture, things like that, if somebody can...

Thanks Woody, that's another very good option, I'll take a trip to Selco and price it up, they seem the best bet rather than Wickes/b&q, I allready have a roll of 3" foil and some 25mm pir to cover the battens.

Thanks, I can follow that now, another consideration is forget battens and use foam, silver tape all joints, then taper edge 12.5 plasterboards, skim joints, sand down, Paint. then possibly a air brick on outside a course up from the double slate dpm? If I do the above should I fit a vcl or...

Hi MRRusty, thanks for the warning, where would this condensation appear? I was thinking of fitting a vcl or dpm membrane after the insulation/before the 12.5 plasterboard? This white fluffy stuff in the cavity looks really past it to me, all the bungalows here have solid floors and no air...

Hi Cdbe, is it possible to use expanding foam on 50mm pir boards, and then foam the plasterboard to the pir insulation? do you just squirt the foam randomely and the press against the brickwork?

Thanks Dazb, I will go with the 50mm pirboards, useing battens, it means because the the plasterboard and insulation are the same widths (1200 x 2400) I will have to trim the insulation to fit between the battens, is that right? It will certainly make this wall warmer even if if it is a cavity wall.

Hello, I live in a 50's bungalow, with 11" cavity walls, stock on the outside, commons inner leaf, I would just like to improve the insulation while I am doing some decorating etc. The whole bungalow has had that fluffy white stuff injected, it must of been 30 years ago approx, ( we have been...

Good afternoon all, I recently purchased this above little freezer which was all I needed to give a little more volume to our existing main one. I bought it through a local auction house for £20, and was well pleased, until I plugged it in. Firstly, I must say it looks absolutely brand...

Thank you all, and sorry for the delay in replying,...the reason I left a gap at the top was because floor to ceiling is 99" and the boards were 94", so because I was fitting 127mm coving, I gave slightly more gap at the top. cheers.

Hello everyone, We live in a bungalow in the Warrington area, and I have removed the chimney breast, battened and boarded the now straight wall, and now it ready for skimming either with Multi or board, I have done skimming before and consider myself competant/ish, but to...

Because as it is, I think it should be rcd protected? not sure. Thanks.

I have a washing machine and dishwasher both on their own dedicated circuits under the kitchen worktop, both on 16amp mcb's, if I changed the plug top/socket to a fixed FCU with a flex outlet, would that comply? thanks.

Could I just ask a question please regarding RF lighting's answer in post 3,..."personally I prefer to install an FCU as it allows the circuit to not have RCD protection". I dont see why a fused plug top and socket needs RCD protection and a FCU doesn't? hopefully somebody will explain. Thanks.

Hi Tony, take out the black 3 socket tee, and fit one of thesehttps://www.screwfix.com/p/floplast-double-socket-bend-87-5-110mm/12960

Thanks Lucid and tigercubrider, I dont really need to link anything else to the TV,I just want a quality sound to go with a quality picture thats all, therefore a soundbar/subwoofer with just one hdmi port will be OK, and i will buy the Philips next week, in the meantime if there are any...
