    Not going to be paying the £50 subscription this year, they are taking the p1ss... Any good alternatives out there? I have a Hikvision CCTV system and seem to remember they offered one, but does it allow remote playback?

    Dimplex optimyst lamps/bulbs

    I am running 2x halogen 35W (heat producing) and 2x LED bulbs (obviously producing no heat). Takes perhaps 20-30 mins longer for the full smoke effect that I used to have but works fine. Also lower wattage bulbs will help out with brittleness occurring on the lamp holders.

    A few years ago i replaced my up and over garage door with a manual insulated roller door. At time time the best thing i could come up with to close the gap between the slats on the roller part of the door and the opening was to fit a brush strip. Is there a better way?

    Texecom Smartcom

    The easiest way is to log into your new ISP router and set the WiFi details (ssid and password) to be the same as what your old setup was. That way the Smart Comm will re-establish the WiFi link.
