Ian, are you sure it is a case of "not" being able to, or, being sensible and not doing so in a public place? I could name a number of companies work, both in my line of business and others that I have come across that would be worthy of mention, but it is not worth the ensuing slanging match. They will get their comeuppance by their own hand at some point. Probably by loosing repeat business.

It must be on a 3D mast, held by 3D brackets, with a 3D coax downlead (twin coax, one centre for each eye). Masthead amps and distribution amps will need to be twinned. 3D is stereoscopic.

Not really. The television says it's HD ready, the aerial doesn't. I've seen a lot of headlines recently - probably stirred up by Murdoch - about Freeview HD being "a scam" because you have to buy a decoder, but the real scam is calling a TV "HD ready" when all it means is that the screen is high enough resolution. It's reminiscent of all those TVs that were advertised as "cable ready" just because they had 100 channel numbers, which was entirely useless. -- Richard -- Please remember to mention me / in tapes you leave behind. |

I suspect they won't fall foul of Part P as they appear to have just buried the flex in the wall with a 13amp plug top at the end! As "experts" though, they would certainly be liable should anyone drill into that cable as it certainly doesn't adhere to any safe practice of burying cables that I'm aware of. Because the cable is fixed I think it will come under Part P. If I run a cable to the garage fixed to the fence and into some sockets fixed to the garage wall but put a 13A plug on the house end - that still comes under Part P. If it's not a new circuit, not involving a delve inside the CU and not involving a special area (kitchen, bathroom or remote building) it won't invoke part P. Sockets in a remote garage certainly invoke Part P, a socket fixed the the outside wall of your house spurred off a socket inside wouldn't. |
