    Issues Emptying Swimming Pool

    I emptied mine last weekend using this method. I used one of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B077T6BP9T/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 to get the water flowing then disconnected the pump and pointed the hose into a inspection drain pipe. The hose exit needs to be...

    Your experience with OLED burn-in

    Well, my wife was on maternity leave so she did watch a lot of TV while off. Exactly how much, I have no idea. One can assume it's been between 7am - 9am but she doesn't watch GMB daily. Nick was left on a lot, that was the first to appear and to be fait to Nick, they changed their logo which...

    Your experience with OLED burn-in

    Thought I would chip in with my experience with LG and burn-in. You can see how bad mine is, below. This is a B7 at 2 years old. Raised to LG around 1 and a half years after buying. There are 4 separate instances of burn in, not including the blob in the middle. The 4 logos are Nickelodeon...

    Projector screens - 80"ish?

    I've got a spare 77" Sapphire if you are interested? It's the same as the one below. It's manual, not electric and I stay not too far from you. https://www.richersounds.com/tv-projectors/tv-accessories/projector-screens/sapphire-sws180wsf-asr2-wall-screen-1-8m.html

    Hue Lightstrips on plinth

    Be careful with strip lighting on the plinth, especially around dishwashers etc, as the plinth is often cut to accommodate the door swinging open, so you need to factor this in as well.

    There's nothing wrong with having many companies. They key is diversification. Ensure to diversify, and not have 20 tech companies for example. Then if there is a dip, you don't get hammered and some companies might prosper, hedging your averages.

    Native apps or external player for LG OLED tv?

    I find I only use BBC iPlayer, purely for its UHD content and YouTube, due to my Shield TV not being able to play YouTube HDR on my LG B7 OLED. I have a similar AV setup as yourself, so have to use ARC for sound through the AV, however you will need to have a new(er) AV capable of eARC to handle...

    Finding leak in central heating system

    You can also use thermal imaging to detect leaks. The camera's can be hired from Jewsons for example and you can follow pipes from the boiler.

    New Nvidia Shield pro

    I was really hoping it would play YouTube HDR content but sadly it's still missing. The old 2017 version is still plenty fast for my streaming needs, plus come black Friday, there will likely be some bargains to be had. Shame really, was looking forward to a new version.

    **** The Official Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Thread ****

    I'm unsure whether to get this, coming from a note 8. The phone isn't grabbing me like others used to do, plus it's basically a carbon copy of the S10. The lack of free accessories is poor as well, I can't recall that last time I never got something for free. I'm seriously considering holding...

    Klipsch

    I notice Richer Sounds are now selling Klipsch. I'm in the market for a new centre speaker, and two stand mount speakers to be wall mounted. I know Klipsch are quite big in the US but wondered if anyone has experience of them over here. Would they be a good addition or are there better makes and...

    I used Sweet Home! for a long time, but since the recent Android update it doesn't work, however the developer is working to reinstate it to Google play... how long this will take, I don't know, but I would recommend bookmarking it when that day comes. https://sweet-home.en.aptoide.com/ Since...

    US: Billions (2016)

    Brilliant finale! Easily the best show on TV at the moment. Can't say I was shocked at Taylor but the ending did have me laughing maniacally. What a pairing they could be. Can't wait until the next season arrives.

    TSB Upgrade issues

    Hold out for possible compensation, as you might receive some money. I sent a complaint to them so that they have it on record I wasn't happy and was impacted by the outage. Think the same happened to RBS customers when similar happened to them a few years ago.
