Correct the IHD doesn't update frequently enough to display any useful tarrif information. You'll have to just use the Octopus App to tell you when if you are getting a cheaper rate (Because octopus have scheduled some EV charging) outside of the standard 6 hour window (11:30pm - 5:30am).

Hi All, Need to some help from the collective mind, networking is not my forte! I have just taken an office out in a shared building where internet access is provided for us. They have deployed their own wireless access points for shared internet. As you can imagine, on this network are all...

Hoping to treat my car to it's first proper wash since picking it up in September, I've got 2BM, decent wash mitt, Snow foam (autobrite magifoam) but need suggestions on how to most time efficiently do any decontamination (including wheels, fallout remover?) and then sealant / hydrophobic...

I'll take pedantic when it's perfectly valid. I moved in with my partner fairly on in the relationship, so selling wasn't the option - although one I should maybe consider now too. Thanks for the points to check, appreciate the confirmation thinking is reasonably correct.

Hi All, Apologies if this is the wrong forum, it seemed like the right one to post in! I am an accidental landlord, in that I bought a house, owned it for 5 years but then moved in with my partner and so now rent it out and having been doing so for 15 months. In renting it out, I went with an...

Yes, it's BT FTTP. Most seem to have a minimum 12 months with fairly hefty install cost. Might just opt with normal FTTC, but other half who has lived here a while has said that BT told her that this wasn't an option strangely. Might do my own digging.

Jumping onto this thread rather than starting my own. Rental property I am living in has just got FTTH, only planning on being here until September next year - what is the best ISP option on a shorter contract, or is it worth just going on 12 month contract and bailing a few months early (and...

Has anyone negotiated a price with them for upgrade to V2? I am still renting V1 (the Beta) with them but I'd like to move upto V2. Half tempted to buy it if I can get it at a reasonable price. Cheers

Hi Guys, I've sold my Microserver which used to be used as my central store as I couldn't be bothered tinkering with it anymore. Im looking to replace it with a 2 bay NAS (I've got limited storage requirements and 2x4TB in Raid1 is enough to cover disk failure) Im torn between grabbing...

Hi All, After a year of living with Tado (renting) I've decided to buy something to install as a replacement. I've had some ongoing issues with Tado, and whilst the customer service have tried, they've ultimately accepted that there is some hardware problems with my kit. I am torn between...

Stratford is nice enough, pretty touristy though. Warwick Castle will again be busy, and seems to have got quite expensive, but that'll occupy a few hours. Transport museum is a good shout, but not sure how wife will feel about looking at loads of cars. If you're doing that, you can always go to...

Tado V2 made the clever stuff go into the Thermostat and gave it a UI. V1 is actually better for me as It doesn't need a separate extension kit to replace the programmer. Both work in the same way with geolocation I'm not sure I can be bothered to go through the whole uninstallation process...

I thought I'd bump this thread, as this seems to be the primary TADO discussion. I am nearing the end of 12 months with Tado, and considering whether to continue to rent it, buy it outright or return it and wondered what other people were considering doing? I've been told it's ~£60 for another...

I've had an iPhone 6 since launch, and have recently started to notice the battery is starting to struggle to last the day. CoconutBattery is reporting only 85.4% of design capacity is available now after 250 cycles. What are other people getting? Apple say the battery is fine, and...

This is awesome, exactly why I posted! I'm going to grab my own decent router too after it's all up and running. It'll be nice to grab something that supports .ac as Wifi seems to get well used in the house! Cheers Guys

Hi All, I've recently cancelled Sky and placed an order to move over to plusnet for there unlimited broadband (I can't get fibre in my area at the moment). It's a huge monthly saving, and I ended up with Plusnet as they were the cheapest no frills offering, no other reason. In people's...

Can anyone suggest the best case fully protective case for the beach? At the moment I'm using it naked, and I don't think it'll last 5 minutes with all the sand and inevitable water! Cheers 'nutz

/Edit turns out I did ask this question before and totally forgot about it! http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18581852

So the wall is almost certainly plasterboard, and i doubt it was ever at all 'tanked' which I guess means I could run into problems, if it's expected to be getting a lot wetter as a shower splashback, as opposed to the casual splash from the bath. Is dot and dab where they just stick the boards...
