    Downlighters in overboarded/skimmed ceiling

    Now you know Sandra why I don't bother with this type of work All I have to worry about is some MP's daughter not putting up a TV correctly and it falling on her toenail spoiling the new red lacquer, then the .gov will likely introduce Part TV

    Which Netbook?

    Thanks useful to know, are you able to see that share from a Windoze PC or do you only have Apple kit I recommend Synology on my installs, but can be a bit complicated for the the first time NAS user

    Which Netbook?

    You are correct, they don't claim it to be NAS because it does not support shares, but it can be tricky explaining to a customer who bought one previously why this bit of kit does not support what they want to do in their newly integrated AV/network setup allowing only limited playback of their...

    Which Netbook?

    AppleTV, er I don't live in the US so not sure how that makes up for it, and don't hold your breath it will never have the same functions due to content restrictions, and limited to 720p :red card which makes it pointless for HD, Ok it's only

    Which Netbook?

    Apple, products best avoided Timeport (because it's not a NAS and lacks SMB shares support) AppleTV (including new version, because it's carp) OK I know these are not Netbooks etc, but just a bit of advice should you fall into the clutches of the excessively expensive fruit vendor

    Can I take it back?

    Much as the stores would like too, they can't (or should not) put returned goods back on the shelf and pretend they are new as it would be in breach of SOGA, clearly if you suspect the goods have been opened or used you should return them to the store for a refund or new replacement. The...

    Can I take it back?

    As I said the shop can not waive your statutory rights just because they decide to sell something cheaper, it is not your concern that they may have sold below their cost, one of the following may be true 1) The product functions identically as the product not on the offer, you still have a...

    But the compass will :) (if used correctly) And for most the Pro meters with LCD's sold on eBay are an unrealistic cost if you don't install dishes for a living Correct the Fringe will indicate the strongest signal of the Sat that you have aligned with, signal quality is down to things you...

    Can I take it back?

    Although somewhat irrelevant now A shop can't conditionally change or force you waive your statutory rights, it's possible that they could argue that the item was sold as 'Shop soiled' or 'ex-Demo' but you would still have a 30 day legal right to return for refund if it did not meet the...

    One of those "whoops" moments.

    When I sold my first flat some twenty years ago there was no wall between the two lofts, before the next owner could get a mortgage they had to have a cement block wall built in order to meet fire regs, so I suspect this has been ignored on this cottage

    What Do I Need To Watch 3D movies at home?..

    Possibly the best value Sky deal I've ever heard Out of curiosity are you watching full 1080 on a TV that supports 1080?, as I've said before I've installed a lot of TV's I've yet to find anyone who could not see the difference when you watch true HD content
