    Humax Remote Control lacking directional power...

    We have a Panasonic TV remote that changes channel and volume at the merest hint of pointing in the right direction but our Humax Freesat box controller requires the accuracy of an Olympic shooting champion. Well, not quite that bad but very unforgiving, requiring a clean sight line at the...

    TV against neighbours wall.........

    I'm looking at hanging a big LED TV on the party wall between our houses so don't want the existing TV speakers to radiate through and upset the neighbours so am looking for an add on sound system. I'd also like surround sound for when they are out but don't really want cables running up...

    Moving hot tank???

Is there any way we can 'hide' the hot tank in the loft, without incurring huge costs or is their a newer/better system that we can consider in...

    Oldish Aqualisa, new Power shower Pump?

    Our upstairs shower has an Aqualisa thermostatic mixer but the pressure is poor. It's got a lot worse in the last year or so and having been refreshingly 'scalped' by a Spanish Hotel shower need to do something to ours to appease rebellious teenage daughters!! :lol: 2 Questions. Is there...
