    50p tax....

    I can't imagine Charlie of Pimlico pays the 50p rate, most likely he's remunerated via his director's dividend so that will be at 10% then ;)

    I think you will find that there is also a relationship between the wavelength of the IR emitted (periodically) from the TV to the distance of the reflective surface and back to the IR receiver on the V-Box (in my scenario), something along the lines of the harmonics you have with sound (another...

    Virgin Media Engineer - gawd bless em

    It was a surprise to me I'd have thought the same, but if you think about it, light (particularly IR) will bounce of any surface, some materials absorb more of the light (or wavelengths) than others so it's all very feasible, and in this case can be repeated time after time. Perhaps we have a...

    Eh? no it's very correct, but yes it's my hypothesis in regard to this particular installation, the channels and menu randomly change only when there is a close by surface for the TV to reflect off, there were no lights on at the time as it was daylight, your installation may have an emitted...

    Virgin Media Engineer - gawd bless em

    It surprised me, but as I said there are known issue with Plasma output messing things up with IR, and if you think about it, IR is just light at a different wavelength, so it may be that some of the light output from LCD/LED is also outside visible spectrum. I was watching a BBC prog that...

    Virgin Media Engineer - gawd bless em

So... I get this call as my friend is concerned, because the problem...

    Wholesalers for av?

    Start with Sonos, 100% satisfaction with all the installs I do, if it looks as if the cost may be outside the budget, bare in mind 1) you will likely qualify for trade as a registered sparky and 2) you can roll out other rooms as funds permit. Some may mention AirPlay but this is more of a low...
