Does Smart TV affect broadband
We've set up a new smart TV 3 days ago - we can access Amazon Prime, BT iPlayer, etc. However, I renewed my BT contract on the same day and I don't know which one has affected me being able to access Duolingo upstairs.

Alexa Control for Between Glass Blinds
Hello, I hope this is the correct place to enquire, though I was not sure whether to go to the "In My Home" board. I think here is more appropriate as it is a more technical "home automation" question really. I use Alexa to automate as much as I can. At the front of the house we have Luxaflex blinds controlled via the…

No frills smart thermostat, drayton wiser?
I currently have an old fashioned set up with a rotary thermostat and module that is on/off or 24hr programming.
