I'm in the market for a new TV but not wanting to spend a huge amount (<£750) and only want a 48/50", but know very little and there are thousands of TV's out there.
I'm not after the best, I only use it to watch TV but don't want to buy something s**t. Any recommendations for something half...
How did you get on? I have an almost identical package and am being quoted over £60 for renewal.
Do they still play the game where if you threaten to cancel they give you a better offer?
I'm assuming plenty of you have experience with this?
I've got a few Wi-fi black spots in my house, namely my downstairs toilet and 4th bedroom. My wife has just made the 4th bedroom her office so I need a solution.
I bought a Powerline adapter so she could be hard wired, but thought getting...
Just received a letter notifying me that my monthly cost is going up by £5.
Has anyone used this as a way to negotiate a better deal before? My contract is up in 3 months but thinking I could use this to do it earlier.
Where and more importantly, how high have people positioned their cameras?
I don't want them positioned too high and not be able to see faces clearly and won't be able to see how they look until the cables are already run.
This is what I'm thinking for the front and back. OK or do they need...
Ok, this thread has been an education.
It's made me realise what sort of setup I want but also that I don't think I would be capable of installing it.
We're just in the process of getting quotes for a rewire so if I go self install route the electricians can do the cameras and cabling for me...
Ignore that, I've just read the thread and know the answer about the cheap camera.
Where is best to look for a 2/3 camera system that won't break the earth? I'm not looking for a setup as fancy as some of you but something reasonable.
Just looking at getting CCTV cameras now to have them fitted whilst we have our rewire done.
Are cheap ones like this worth it considering the good reviews?

Or is it worth investing in more expensive ones that are powered over ethernet?
And then will you have your Sky hub on some sort of smart plug so if it needs resetting you can do it without having to go up into the loft? This is basically my plan. It started out as just using the 4 ethernet ports on the back of my Sky hub and has now escalated.
That's what I was thinking, are you using a switch? If so where have you located it? Considering the loft if I go for one.
Did you have to get BT out to move your main BT socket?
It's not super huge (4 bed detached), just thinking that it gives a better connection for my son on his xbox in his room and my wife for her laptop in the room shes using as her office for not much extra cost and hassle whilst we're doing the whole rewire.
I'm getting the house we've just moved into rewired in Jan/Feb and aside from the changing of cables, extra plug sockets and light switches etc what should I be looking at for future proofing the house?
Is it worth getting ethernet cables run to every bedroom for wired internet access?
Whilst...
Bump...
Looking to get a Nest Thermostat for our new place.
My wife works from home a fair bit on random days, can we set two schedules, one for when someone is home and when one we are all out and it use our mobiles to decide if we are at home or not?
What a bunch of *****'s
Did the usual of cancelling everything as the new deal they were offering was awful, they advised me that they only call 3% of people now with retention deals, I thought I would call their bluff.
What I didn't notice was that their broadband cancellation is only 14 days...
Does anyone know if any of the main music streaming services allow you to filter out swear words?
My son is getting more in to music and wants to start using one but from my experience you don't get the radio edited versions with the swearing bleeped out and its surprising how much swearing is...
My son has Xbox Live on his XBox and the account was linked to an Outlook.com email address that I have stupidly closed and now don't have access to.
How do I update the email address linked to the account? As i no longer have a Microsoft related email address I cant even log in to their...
The tracking has been off in my car for a while so I asked the garage to have a look at whilst in was in there having the breaks done yesterday.
When I picked the car up I was told that the tracking looked fine and was on "Zero" as it should be, which surprised me.
I jumped in my car and it...
Are these actually any good? My missus also wants one having got in to fitness/exercise/running recently but i don't want to buy one for it to get put in a draw and not used after a few weeks.
Where abouts did you see that offer after you had logged in?
I cancelled the other week after some poor offers, the best I've had so far is an email offering line rental free for a year which is a £208 discount.
I'm sure there are loads of you who have been through the process of cancelling with Sky to get a cheaper deal, just spoke to them on Live chat and the best they could manage was 15% off my TV package so they are processing the cancellation for me.
Once they have processed the cancellation, do...
From what i've read there won't be huge changes, just tweaks.
External memory cards and USB-C charging are the main ones, neither of which massively appeal to me considering how much more it will be than the S6.
I've pretty much decided to get the S6 and just modify it to make it more like pure...
I could decide so havent done anything yet.
I really need to make a choice but it's hard knowing that the S6 is the superior handset but I want pure Android.
