    Faraday Cube

    Thanks for that but there are no outside windows in the room, only windows lead to aluminium atrium. I do have a length of aerial wire running a devious path behind a wall unit and out through an illegal hole in the door frame to a improvised aerial glued onto an outside window. This wire is...

    Faraday Cube

    Thanks, I had a feeling this was the only option, will look at internet radio as you suggest, my TV has internet availability. Deigh

    Faraday Cube

    My wife and I live in a small flat with corrugated iron roof and aluminium framed windows which makes it a Faradays Cage. We like to listen to FM radio but having major problems with reception. There is no outside window in the room. TV aerial is unsatisfactory for radio and there are too many...

    TV sound problems

    I understood that there was a standard 2tenths of a second delay in bluetooth signals. This has always been a problem when playing an instrument but perhaps it is unimportant on normal watching, I'll have another look at bluetooth.

    TV sound problems

    TV sound problems. Like most LED screens my picture is excellent but the sound leaves much to be desired. Like most mature people I have slight hearing problems. I need to add a hi fi system but being in a small pensioner flat there is no room around the TV. I therefore need to set one up a...

    Wi fi for iPad

    Good idea except that they are not made for iPad. I use them on my PC but there is no way they can be plugged into iPad. Deigh

    Wi fi for iPad

    From my den I can pick up free wi-fi from several sources with my laptop PC and a booster aerial. My smart phone can pick up the same but my iPad is less sensitive and can only pick up from a local source like my phone. Is there any way I can boost the aerial reception on it? Back in the days...

    FM fading

    Thanks for that but I'm not allowed to do much interference with the outside of the flat and change the appearance. I've already had hints that the cross is 'over the top'. A car is an ideal Faraday cage and radio reception is obtained with a roof aerial. Would fitting a car type aerial to my...

    FM fading

    the source for my plans....... http://mikestechblog.com/ubuntu-antenna/build-an-indoor-fm-antenna-with-these-plans/ and my attempt I'd like to add that fading is also combined with distortion, but it mainly seems to affect our favourite frequency, which is 105.4 . Just switching to...

    FM fading

    I live in a ground floor flat with a corrugated iron roof plus aluminium window and door frames. This is an ideal Faraday Cage and gives me problems with FM reception. I can't use the TV aerial because it is the wrong type so I have ended up with a wire home made contraption outside the nearest...

    Small print

    Am just assembling a kit to control motor speeds. I had a lot of trouble reading the small printing on some semiconductors and identifying them with the list supplied. I solved it by photographing them with a macro lens on my mobile phone and then had a decent sized picture to work with. Old...

    Strip Lighting

    I've just been trying my hand at installing strip lighting in my wife's glass display cabinet. The results are quite pleasing but I need to know a bit more about the product.......The self adhesive strip requires a 4 pin connector. One pin is marked 12v and the others red, green and black. What...
