Advice on cabling - help much appreciated!

Hi, my first post here.......... Im wondering if anyone can help/advise I have had sky for about a year and the tv is in one corner of the room with the sky connected through a cable in the wall to the dish outside.  The engineer did all this when he fitted the sky dish  I am wanting to change my sitting room around - move the tv to the other side of the room BUT the sky cable wont be long enough to do this at the moment Can I replace the sky cable myself with one that is long enough or do I need to contact Sky and book an engineer to come out to either extend the cable or replace with a new one that is long enough to enable me to move my tv? Not sure if that makes any sense at all but I am hoping it does! Any advice would be greatly appreicated thank you in advance 

Test the extension cables hooked up to the Sky box before you start moving the furniture.  This is to make sure your signal levels don't drop off to below threshold level when you add the new cables.   Amazon do complete satellite cable extension kits.

    Does it charge?
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Try another cable
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

  • I've just changed my router and whilst my laptops sync ok, my G4 tower which connects via an airport express doesn't connect to the internet. I think it's something to do with the IP or DHCP settings but have had no success, any help much appreciated.

    Hi Jake,
    Is it connecting to the Router or Modem?
    Is the new Router using maybe WPA2 encryption? If so, G4s can only do WPA or less.

    The Interface that connects to the Internet, needs to be drug to the top of System Preferences>Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations and checked ON.
    Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.

  • IP Configuration - IP in use? Any help much appreciated!

    Hi all,
    I have a slight problem with a new Time Capsule.
    The set up:
    *TC 500gb*
    *ADSL modem (D Link)*
    *MacBook Air*
    *HP Printer/Scanner/Copier 3210*
    *iPod touch*
    The Printer is connected via ethernet to the Time Capsule.
    Both the MacBook Air and the iPod touch connect via WiFi.
    The modem connects to the internet port on the Time Capsule.
    I receive an error message every time I power on the printer, or turn WiFi on the iPod touch.
    The message is:
    *IP Configuration*
    *62.249.169.50 is in use by 00:1d:4f:11:6f:d3, DHCP Server 192.168.1.1*
    That last part, 192.168.1.1 happens to be the address I have to type to access the D Link modem's config page via the web browser.
    Within this page, I have the following option:
    The device can be setup as a DHCP Server to distribute IP addresses to the LAN network.
    There are two choices:
    *No DHCP*
    Choose this option. The IP address must be manually assigned at each device connected to DSL-320T.
    *DHCP Server*
    Choose this option to setup as a DHCP server to distribute IP addresses to the LAN network.
    Currently, the second option is selected.
    Beneath this, is the following:
    *DHCP Server*
    Starting IP Address: 192.168.1.2
    Ending IP Address: 192.168.1.254
    Lease Time 60 seconds
    The starting and ending IP, and the lease time, can all be changed.
    If I don't power on the printer or turn on the iPod's WiFi, everything works ok.
    However, with the message appearing, I can't use the printer or web on the iPod.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm guessing I need to change an IP address, or something...
    Any help is much appreciated!! Thanks in advance,
    -Chris

    Hello iPhone. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Since both of your AirPorts are 802.11n models, I suggest that you use the "extend" network feature available to these models versus using a WDS.
    Here is the basic setup steps to extend the AirPorts.
    o If practical, place the base stations in near proximity to each other during the setup phase. Once done, move them to their desired locations.
    o Open AirPort Utility and select the base station that will connect to the Internet.
    o Choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
    o Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
    o Choose “Create a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then select the “Allow this network to be extended” checkbox.
    o Next, select the base station that will extend this network, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
    o Choose “Extend a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then choose the network you want to extend from the Network Name pop-up menu.
    o Enter the base station network and base station password is necessary.
    o Click Update to update the base station with new network settings.

  • Which printer? Any help much appreciated!

    Hi all,
    I run a small business from home designing personalised prints. I currently have them printed commercially but it is eating in to my profits. I was wondering if someone could recommend a printer?
    My designs are predominantly a white design (usually text) on a solid colour background. I have tried an inkjet and the print quality was amazing, but I could only get about 10 prints and then the cartridges would run out (HP Envy 5530)
    I have just recently purchased a laser printer (Brother HL3140) but the quality is terrible. The solid colour section has light lines all through it and has a criss-crossed effect.
    Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks
    Kirsty

    I should probably have asked a few more questions.  What country are you in?  Are the backgrounds generally the same color?  What color?
    If the Instant Ink subscription service is available in your country that may be a good option.  The Instant Ink service is a subscription based on the number of pages printed per month, without regard to what is printed.  Instant Ink currently supports the following printers:
    HP Envy 4500 e-All-in-One printer series
    HP Envy 5530 e-All-in-One printer series
    HP Envy 5640
    HP Envy 5660
    HP Officejet 4630 e-All-in-One printer series
    HP Officejet 5740
    HP Officejet Pro 8610 e-All-in-One printer series
    HP Officejet Pro 8620 e-All-in-One printer series
    HP Officejet Pro 8630 e-All-in-One printer series
    For printing on glossy media it would be best to not use printers with pigmented ink such as the Officejet Pro 8610, 8620 or 8630, the glossy media may not be compatible with this ink.

  • 'PC Companion' issues - help much appreciated!

    Hi guys - anyones' help would be greatly appreciated! I'm having problems backing up my Z3's files before sending the phone away to the insurer for repair.
    I dropped the phone, smashed the screen and have also broken the phones' touch-screen function. So it's absolutely unuseable aside from the lock and camera buttons! I removed the SIM, put it in my old Xperia Z and now I'm now up and running on that.
    However! When I connect the Z3 to my PC to try and back it up and open up the 'PC Companion' to access the files, it says a SIM must be in the phone and that the PIN code must have been inserted. The phone has no SIM as it's in my old one and even if it did I couldn't enter the PIN as the screen is broken!
    How can I get the files from my PC without having this SIM and PIN?! There must be a way!
    Thanks for your time and help!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    This worked mate, thank you so much for your help! It's not common for people to reply to someone who's 'signed up just so they can get some help', I'd usually just get ignored, so massive appreciation for that.
    I plugged in a standard laser mouse using this mini-to-normal USB adapter and then used the cursor input my pin, lock code etc that way so that it'd talk with PC Companion. I then left the phone unlocked while I backed it up and job done!
    I was worried at first that I'd be at risk of losing all my stuff if I could't back it up before sending it away
    Thanks again!!!

  • HT1212 I have forgotten my restrictions passcode on my iphone. How can I override/ get past this problem & get safari back? Any help much appreciated!!

    Hi there!
    I've forgotten the restrictions passcode that I set up. I've failed on 5 attempts. What can I do to get rid of it and access safari again?! I've restored original settings (which happily updated my software), but then restored the last phone back up which I made & so, of course, still have restrictions set as on. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks.

    To remove the Restrictions passcode you will need to Restore the Device as New...
    You will not be able to perform a backup as this would include the Restrictions passcode... which is what you have to remove...

  • HT201210 Getting error message 2003 when trying to resore 3g handset....any help much appreciated...regards Mike

    Hi Hello,
    Getting error message 2003 when trying to restre repaired 3g handset?...any assist greatly appreciated...Kind Regards...Mike.

    Hi there,
    This may be caused by a USB conflict or and issue with your security software. It looks like the article you came from has this information toward the bottom.
    Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.

  • I am wanting to exactly match two ID numbers from two differing worksheets within one work book. Once matched I am wanting to retrieve a row value from the second worksheet into the first. Any help much appreciated.

    I am wanting to exactly match two ID numbers from two worksheets within the one work book. ID numbers are non linear. Once exactly matched I wish to retrieve a corresponding row value from worksheet two and have it appear in worksheet one against the correct ID number. I have been looking at IF, VLOOKUP, and MATCH functions and suspect that what I want to do requires a combination of two or more. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    regards Vaughanh

    Vaughan,
    Data A:D is all cells start at column A thru column D.
    There is built-in help using the menu item "View > Show Function Browser"  in the search field (top right) you can enter vlookup and you will see the detailed description.
    From this we see:
    VLOOKUP
    (search-for, columns-range, return-column, close-match)
    search-for:  The value to find. search-value can contain any value type.
    columns-range:  A range of cells. range is a reference to a single range of cells, which may contain values of any type.
    return-column:  A number that specifies the relative column number of the cell from which to return the value. return-column is a number value. The leftmost column in the range is column 1.
    close-match:  An optional value that determines whether an exact match is required.
    close match (TRUE, 1, or omitted):  If there’s no exact match, select the column with the largest top-row value that is less than the search value. Wildcards can’t be used in search-for.
    exact match (FALSE or 0):  If there’s no exact match, return an error. Wildcards can be used in search-for.
    So... the 2,0 means return the value form the same row as the lookup value but from the 2nd column of the range.  3, 0 means from the 3rd column.  the ", 0" means exact match
