I have a 55” Samsung TV and I would like to be able to cast my iPad onto it. Is there a device / module I can use for this? Whilst it is a ‘Smart’ TV, it does not have airplay built in. Thanks.

Thanks for the replies. Fibre is the winner then… I’ve been looking at armoured pre-terminated cable and I’m a little confused with the varying options. I’m assuming that 4 core is sufficient but the differing cable types (OM2, OM3, OM4) - what is the difference? There are different...

Our house is finally being connected to FTTP (having had to endure 4Mb down and 0.5Mb up since we moved here 18 months ago). As such, I’m looking to upgrade our current setup which consists of 2 x TP Link CPE510 wireless PtP setup to a more reliable wired setup that can utilise the 900Mb /...

Yes I did try the powerline adapters but as they're on a different circuit and consumer board it didn't work. I've now ordered the MikroTik GPeR ethernet extender with a PoE injector so we shall see if that'll fix the existing Cat 6. I should have mentioned that currently there is a 25m Cat 6...

Thanks for the replies. I have spent quite a few hours fault testing the ethernet cable and even tried a replacement cable (without bothering to put it through the duct!) which was pre-terminated but still got the same results. I have tried different ports as well. Yesterday when doing a bit...

We have a garden office that is 125m from the house without a working network connection at present. I have tried running a Cat 6 cable that length however it does not seem to like it for some reason and limits the speed to 10Mbps. I noticed that there is a fibre to RJ45 converter installed in...

I wondered if it is possible to stream live local TV (BBC, ITV, etc) to multiple TVs without running coaxial cables all over the house or using the individual apps such as iPlayer? I currently have our main TV in the living room with another in the kitchen / diner and a third in the office at...

Thanks, it seems to be the one recommended most. I didn’t realise that it worked with other brands.

I have a Dell XPS 13 (9305) on order and I’d like to purchase a docking station. Admittedly I’m a little unsure with regards to the power output required for my setup (and potential future setup), and subsequently what is best suited for my needs, which are;- To initially be used with a 34”...

The X3M was good fun in the snow today.

My new X3M after having a ceramic coating applied at the weekend. Loving the car so far, it has exceeded my expectations.

Thanks for the replies. The dealer assured me that it would have Android Auto as the build date was middle of August. It has still not appeared anywhere in my apps, I will grab a photo tomorrow. It goes in for its 1,200 mile running in service in two weeks so if it doesn't appear by then...

Thanks! It has ID7 although Android Auto is not shown in the App section of ID7. I don't see Apple Car Play in there either. Just subscribed to remote services for £12 / year and I was able to enable it, so that's sorted now.

I collected my X3M yesterday, lovely car. Having some problems setting up the BMW ConnectedDrive app though... I cannot enable remote services within the app or the BMW portal online. I hit the activate now button within the app and I get a spinning wheel but nothing happens. On the customer...

What equipment and/or products would people here recommend for a car that has been professionally ceramic coated? I've been out of the car cleaning scene for a few years but with the X3M being delivered next month I'd like to look after it. I currently have no cleaning products or equipment...

I ordered an X3M Competition today for delivery in September. I'm super excited but keep changing my mind on the colour as there aren't many X3M's in the showrooms to view! Currently it's Sapphire Black however Donington Grey is growing on me - has anyone seen it in the flesh?

Signal to noise ratio is 5.8dB if that's helpful?

It states a VDSL high of 63.7 and a low of 40. I'm sure that when we first moved in we had speeds higher than 30 on the Openreach network.

I subscribed to SharkSurf last night and I can connect to any server when on 4G however when connected to WiFi it refuses to connect to any. Its as if my router is blocking it. I'm on Vodafone Internet, has anyone else had this issue? EDIT: I've fixed it by changing the DNS servers away from...

We moved from Virgin to Vodafone Super 2 (up to 63/Mbps) several weeks ago however everytime we run a speedtest the download speed seems to be capped at almost exactly 30/Mbps. Vodafone support have been pretty useless and have just offered a 10% discount. Having logged into the router...
