RE: Pictures from Keith's visit....

["Keith Doxey" <ukha@xxxxxxx>]

I'm Knackered !!!!!

In 3 days we have....

Terminated 2 x 32 way patch panels

Rewired Mark's entire AV system giving both the TV and Projector full
access
to Composite and S-Video sources from his Yamaha AV amp.

Used his old Pace Analogue satellite system to feed VCR and DVD to all TV's
via RF.

Connected both the Master Bedroom and AV Room t  his Showshifter PC via
KAT5

Fitted modified Clipsal switches with integral LED's t  control the Central
Heating via Homevision and fitted Relays t  the Central Heating Controller.

Using basic t ols, cut a hole in the front panel of a 2U 19" Rack Case
(from
M******) and mounted HomeVision, HV Expansion board, TW523 in the case.

Tomorrow its back t  the mainland and I hope the ferry crossing is MUCH
smoother than on the way out here. The outward journey was not pleasant in
the least :-((

Its been great being out here, I just wish there had been more time. The
house is Soooo much better than the last time I visited. It now has floors,
windows and stairs :-))

Very interesting, good work well performed. I'm impressed/jealous!

What M****** 19" case did you use? I was looking into this myself but
as
"good" as M*****s are would you believe they never had any in
their
Northampton store? hard t  believe aint it!

If you mount the HV box into node zero how do you get the IR signals t  it
t  control the TV Screens etc? I had stopped playing with this a long while
ago but do intend to get back t  it when I'm more organised (if ever!)
