This ^ Speakers A and Speakers B connect to the same amp channel internally. There's only one amplifier module, so A and B are parallel connections to it. It's likely you have a dry joint - a solder connection that has gone intermittent because there's a crack in the solder. The fact that you...

If you already live in a strong signal area, and the room in which you plan to use the aerial faces the transmitter, and there are no significant obstructions in line of sight between the aerial and the transmitter, and it helps if its sitting next to a window, then sure, it'll look like it's...

Ah, that's a different thing. Yes is the answer. Some TVs also have the option to switch off these alerts. That was handy for customers when they were doing all the channel shuffling. Honestly, no. Whatever splitter you're currently running, and that Labgear from Screwfix, are both going to...

Yeah, you're right. They can, and they do. Though it's rarely ongoing for weeks or months at a time. It's relatively easy to check if there's some work on the transmitter for your local area (presuming that's what your aerial is aligned to, of course). There's the BBC tool which also predicts...

"Reception" is a bit of a vague term. There's Quality (signal to noise ratio), and there's Strength which is a measure of signal level. Getting 100% strength is easy. Just bang in a load of amplification. There you go, you could say you have 100% reception, but the signal would glitch a lot if...

Are you talking about improving things for the LG TV in the den if you unplug the coax feed for the HiSense TV? If so, the answer is no. The splitting loss (roughly 4dB) has already happened at the splitter. If anything, having the signal lead unterminated that goes to the HiSense TV could...

We only have part of the picture (no pun intended) so it's difficult to assess whether you're having your leg lifted or if the installer has quoted you low for all the work that might be involved. There are a few factors to bear in mind that might be contributing to your current issues: - I'm...

This sounds quite like a soundbar receiving a digital signal it can't decode. What was the thing you were playing, a disc of some sort or a console game? Do you know what the audio format was?

I can understand the present fascination with analogue in the form of vinyl records and the whole tactile nature of playing a record. For the life of me though, I'm bewildered by the resurgence in tape cassette as a format. In a world where digital media players and FLAC lossless compression...

It seems that as a society we've moved past this. The mobile phone appears to be the replacement. IDK if the cellular network has some sort of backup power source. Maybe it does if its part of the Government's early warning system.

Everything relating to telephony is going broadband. Old-style voice-over-copper will be a dead duck soon. https://www.bt.com/about/all-ip You won't need these old cables.

And only 9 months for delivery! ( Sorry. Just teasing.)

Given the audio frequency the sub is covering, and its need to be more towards the front of the room, I would suggest the natural place is the right wall, a little closer to camera than the mains sockets, but also clear of the cabinet doors. Maybe disguise it with an occasional table? The sub is...

The sound bar provides the voices to go with your picture. Do you really want the voices to come from the top of a cabinet? Find new homes for the bits on the mantel. There’s your home for the sound bar. You might even be able to bring the telly down a bit to close the gap and hide any cables.

The surround speakers should be on the side walls, set a little way back. The angle from the main listening position (MLP) is 110~120 degrees relative to 90 degrees being in line with the MLP. The speakers should be turned to face the MLP. The height of the surrounds should be 12" / 35cm...

Terrestrial is 1080i at best, and not HDR. On the average 4K HDR TV with the iPlayer app, the streaming version of this programme is UHD resolution, but also with HDR - High Dynamic Range - in HLG format. The result are two very different starting positions for the picture set-up, and it's more...

They might tell you it's special, or even believe it themselves, but whether it's four speakers off one Sonos amp, or two zones and two amps, it's all pretty-much bread & butter stuff.

Twin mono is the way to go, though I have to say, that's a big space to cover with just two speakers, even bookshelf speakers.

Space and power in the form of current has never really been a problem for Class D amps. The limitations of Class D are the ability to raise voltage, and rhe quality of circuit design. You see, Class D got a bad name because it was really easy (and cheap!) to make a small and potent amp so...

I've just wasted 10 minutes checking four different Sharp 55" Freely TVs for the AV input. The models are 55HJ4225K, 55HJ4125K, 55HJ4325K, and 55HJ4725K. All the specs say the same thing. "Video/Audio input (3 x RCA) - Yes" None say it's a minijack. I'm not being funny, but you're wasting...
