    Harmony remote - changes input to fast on turn-on

    Makes no difference recreating it - it says right on the screen shot I posted, the default sequence can't be edited. That's why I was hoping someone knows a way around it.

    Harmony remote - changes input to fast on turn-on

    Ah..but that's the exact problem - I can't adjust above the asterisks... I can only adjust and move around what I add after the asterisks. Maybe I must try the mobile app.... EDIT: Looks like the app is specific to Hub users

    That s the 2-3 in the picture, you can't move them above the yellow asterisk, and it doesn't look like you can create another step for input source.

    Harmony remote - changes input to fast on turn-on

    That's as far as I got previously, it doesn't seem to be possible to add a delay between turning on - and selecting the source

    Geyser Timer - Is it worth installing?

    Our geyser uses about half the electricity on a timer, BUT - we have a full time domestic - and mixer taps, so I think that's why we use half - the geyser is off during the day.

    Improving Home Security

    House next to a friend was repossessed by the bank - they fitted a gas alarm (had a ton of signage outside warning would be intruders). Wouldn't mind a manual trigger one per room.

    FNB Personal Loan - Sound right ?

    You'll just end up paying off the loan earlier, and with less interest. i.ei. the term/period of the loan has changed.

    Are Onkyo receivers unreliable?

    Mine was also repaired under warranty, and his been fine since 2016, but the experience of dealing with Audiotronic made sure I won't buy an Onkyo again. I don't mind product issues - but how they're dealt with is important.

    Immigration Experiences

    Out of interest, how old are you guys? There's a good chance we'll be up-rooting and moving overseas in the next 5 years, I'm good to go - but my wife wants to stay careerwise. We said we'd give it five years. Want to leave for three reasons 1.) Adventure 2.) Don't see much of a future for...

    ECO FIBER - POOL FILTER ALTERNATIVE TO SAND

    From what I've read - it's very difficult to get the balance right so you have relatively clear swimming water - If I were to put in a pool from scratch, I'd try go this route though.

    ECO FIBER - POOL FILTER ALTERNATIVE TO SAND

    Are you meant to backwash with this? My pool requires backwashing about once a week as I use wellpoint water, would prefer something more eco friendly.
