Ive got a dbox2 but its got a 2 pronged plug on it, can I just cut the end off and put a 3 pronged plug on it? is this safe? cheers for the help.
Simply use an schuko to uk plug adapter. For instance: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Travel-Adapto...ryZ19315QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem A shaver plug adapter is not so good because the fuse is too weak.
I was told by a fella from a tv/video repair shop that the shavers ones arent strong enough. anyhow Ive cut the end off and added a 3 pronged plug and its workin brilliant. Cheers everyone, much appreciated.
The shaver plug adapters have a 1amp fuse and the box can consume up to 1.25amp at power up. Thats not a good combination.
I have been using one of them 75 pence adapter from Wilkinson since October and never had a problem at all.
Because you are using standby and never unplug the box. If you unplug and replug the box several times you get a good chance to blow the fuse.
As i said, Ive cut off the end and added a 3 pronged plug and I put in a 3amp fuse, to be honest I just checked what fuse was in my ntl box and copied that. seems to be working no problem.
