RE: Recommended whole-house audio dist amp?

["BUTLER, Tony, FM" <tony.butler@xxxxxxx>]

Phil,

 

I'm in Surrey, so not exactly neighbours :) 

 

Keith has explained to my KAT5 list persona that it's because I'm now double terminated (oh-er missus!) & he's gonna tell me which wire to cut in my Tx unit to get back to single termination..

In the mean time, I have taken the unusually simplistic route of turning up the birghtness on the TV :-]

Would of course prefer an X10 solution involving relays switching brightness circuits in/out as <insert favourite HA controller here> detects a change from an RF input to an EXT input on the TV, but what the hey - can't have everything :D

 

Tony

Tony,

Where are you located? I'm Winchester if that's any use as you seem to
be having some issues with brightness ... Just thought that maybe two
heads might be better than one!
