⭐ It takes you to the point nice and concisely , advices and teach you, it is a book to keep as reference.It takes you to the point nice and concisely , advices and teach you, it is a book to keep as reference.

⭐ great book, fast delivery

⭐ I agree with the other reviewer. This book covers too many topics that have nothing to do with a “digital home’. Sure a computer needs power but to have a lot of the book cover the layout of basic home wiring is too much. I wanted more detailed information on how to set up cat 5 or cat 6 connectors, or how to wire compression coax connectors, or how to choose cable, splitters etc, or specific information on how to control a light or outlet from the computer.

⭐ Don’t buy this book. The title is misleading. It is just a plain old ordinary house wiring book and nothing more. No references to digital wiring. I would never buy a “Dummie” book again.

⭐ good quality, fast service hate these reviews with a passiongood quality, fast service hate these reviews with a passion

⭐ It has already paid for itself. Since buying my big screen HDTV, I found that I needed to get a new satellite receiver that would require a phone connection in a room where there was no phone jack. The Satellite company did not tell me that you can buy an electronic device to send the phone signal through the electric lines. I am sure I will find other helpful information as well.

⭐ I have been rewiring my 30 year old home over the last five years replacing all the phone and cable TV wiring and adding a computer network all to a central hub. I have read other For Dummies books on these subjects and they were rather good. These days I look for more information and I thought this new book would provide me with something I had not read of before. I would not buy this book if you have ever done anything on this subject yourself. For some strange reason about half of the book involves wiring for lights and outlets, which I have also done a lot myself, but in my opinion has nothing to do with having a digital home. I am still waiting for one book that tells it all on this subject.

⭐ Don’t be fooled by the glossy cover, a quick look at the ancient electrical hardware pictured in this book suggests that it has its origins many years ago. Although many of the principles will be common to UK homes, the fact that everything seems to be aimed at American hardware, standards and conventions made it very confusing and of limited help to me.

⭐ As I said, good ideas but now VERY outdated in some areas. Technology is moving faster than the printed word. Still a good buy and reference resource.
