The Dash Away From (Natural) Gas
Particularly if, as here in a '82 link-detached house, it's on a looped service/supply. Main fuse is 80A which was probably OK back in '82 taking taking diversity into account, but these days with >9kW showers it's a different matter. Which is probably why UKPN in their documentation on looped...- everthewatcher

The Dash Away From (Natural) Gas
That's odd - combi boilers usually have small tank of hot water to bridge the gap until the heat exchanger comes up to temp. However if there's a long pipe run from boiler to outlet then there's your problem. FWIW combi boilers can be used with a conventional hot water store - it just needs an...- everthewatcher

The second one is weird. I have an NEC-format IR decoder, built for a work project some years back, that would give the codes being sent by the first one but that's no help to you.- everthewatcher

Media mistakes
Here's what someone in the know posted about TV subtitles in a forum, though it was ten years ago so things might have changed: [Edit] Further down the same thread someone commented that in a programme about the Nazcar Plains someone clearly had been asked to say something to camera for...- everthewatcher

New RM-F04 remote: Excellent service from eBay supplier
You had me worried there for a bit until I read further. The one I got has the MDB1.3 sticker, same as the other two I have here. As for the fonts etc, the one that came with a V1 HDR (with horizontal co-ax connectors) has slightly smaller and heavier character/symbols, both on the buttons and...- everthewatcher

On Saturday a local charity shop had a Xmas section complete with small tree, three months before the day. Apparently head office orders.- everthewatcher

Life of HDDs
Pulled a Samsung satellite box out of a charity shop dumpster as it had '1TB' helpfully marked on its front panel. It's a Seagate Pipeline ST3100424CS with 2140 POH, 351 power cycles, 31340 start-stop cycles but 3287 reallocated sectors so it's just a source of a fridge magnet or two. Not...- everthewatcher

BBC Series have not scheduled
More than likely. Got a series recording for the BBC 6 o'clock news but every now and then one of the weekend ones doesn't get recorded even though it's gone out at the scheduled time. Next weekend it's fine. I'll try to remember to check the CRID if it happens again.- everthewatcher

FVP5000T - Record button not working but red indicator light registers key depression
Surprising how few people know about them. I've a Lidl set here dating from 2006 that's used on the four plugged-in lights in the living room. Found them so useful I bought a just-in-case second set that's not been needed and was used by a neighbour when they broke their ankle. As the intended...- everthewatcher
