    House rewire - what other technology etc cables to put in?

    But f you re wiring your house you wouldn't need those as they are essentially a bodge for houses without data cables. Don't get me wrong I have them at home, and they work great, but if re wiring you can eliminate that issue

    House rewire - what other technology etc cables to put in?

    You can use HDMI matrix's to run HDMI down Data cables - I would always wire minimum 3 data cables to every tv point, and every bedside table. HDMI is actually quite fragile over long runs, and also I have found problems with Sky Boxes putting signal out over 10m plus HDMI runs. Having the data...

    Bang & Olufsen

    The answer is no. However the biggest factor in hearing a discernible improvement in home speaker set ups is the room the equipment is in. Most people buy equipment that is not suited for the room it will be in.

    Modified G wagen

    You can buy a military spec G wagon pick up . I don't think a pick up would de value the brand at all, Mercedes have already done that with some of the badge engineering in the commercial division.
