That one made me
smile.
Will architects ever get with the
program
and stop putting TV points in the corner?
That was fine years ago, but now we
have
flat panel TVs (at prices which are starting to compare with CRTs now
–
ask Graham J), and surround sound, tallies just don’t work in the
corner
any more. I had to persuade the architect who put the plans together for my
place to leave out a window on one wall because that was where I wanted to
put
the plasma.
The thing that makes me laugh, is that
before she started to draw the plans she came to visit me, and as the few
members of the group that have been here will attest the
“telly”
does dominate the room somewhat. Even Mark “I don’t really
watch
telly” Harrison, was doing some back-of-fag-packet calculations which
included a wall bracket, second hand Sky box and a FTA BBC card

High WAF
items:
1. Wiring for whole house audio with all
cabling
hidden
2. Hiding hifi gear at node
zero
Neutral WAF:
1. Relocating "tv point" to new
lounge
corner
Low WAF: (completely negates all of the
above)
1. Not wiring a "tv point" to a
place
"we" never thought we'd put the TV,
and can't be cabled from anywhere else. Hence
the
reason I'm hiring a wall
chaser (again) this weekend.
That's about all I've got cabled at the
moment.
More as it happens . . .

Ooh - she came up with 2 more just after I hit
"send".
1: Got rid of cables that ran all round the
room
for surround sound
2: babycam
Both are, of course, KAT5
implementations.

Dear all,
For those of you not on the UKHA_Meeting
group, it
looks like the 2003
meeting may well be an all-weekend event to
which
SWMBOs are invited.
Keith Doxey has suggested that there are two
possible outcomes to an SWMBO
conclave:
1. They discuss all the disasters and massive
credit card bill we all get
resulting in us being banned.
2. Each SWMBO say how cool <insert High WAF
HA
feature> is and they think "I
must get him to do that as well"
resulting in
us being encouraged to extend
our systems.
In order to make "2" happen, we have
about 10 months to implement a large
number of high-WAF features in our systems...
which means we need to start
pooling ideas now :-)
So, what are your high-WAF
features?
My starter for ten, based on Mrs. H's comments
are:
- Rio Receiver in her study
- She can control the lights from beside her
bed
- Garden lights come on automatically when it
gets
close to dark
- Pronto was better than all the
separates
- (When on maternity leave), liked to be able
to
read her discussions groups
in bed
Any others?
Mark
