Only pre day sales so far tho! Uk is never as good as US.

I found this: Satellite,TV and radio antenna Planning Permission: Houses and buildings up to 15 metres high Unless your house (or the building in which you live) is in a designated area, you do not need to apply for planning permission to install an antenna on your property, as long as: there will be no more than two antennas on the property overall. (These may be on the front or back of the building, on the roof, attached to the chimney, or in the garden); if you are installing a single antenna, it is not more than 100 centimetres in any linear dimension (not including any projecting feed element, reinforcing rim, mounting and brackets); if you are installing two antennas, one is not more than 100 centimetres in any linear dimension, and the other is not more than 60 centimetres in any linear dimension (not including any projecting feed element, reinforcing rim, mounting and brackets); the cubic capacity of each individual antenna is not more than 35 litres; an antenna fitted onto a chimney stack is not more than 60 centimetres in any linear dimension; and an antenna mounted on the roof only sticks out above the roof when there is a chimney-stack. In this case, the antenna should not stick out more than 60 centimetres above the highest part of the roof, or above the highest part of the chimney stack, whichever is lower.

I think so, though freeview aerials are permitted so anything that height would probably be ok.

The wonders of Virgin Media connected streets... I presume??? UBNT is definitely the way to go - You will have to check with local height restrictions ETC... It may violate their ISP'S terms of service though. Worth checking. 5ghz is prefered over 2.4 but it depends on the tree line as others have said. Powerbeam AC seems like a good potential option.

Wow... They actually went this far!!!

One day my UPS decided it couldn't deliver enough power, so just gave up. Try bypassing it to be sure

If the fans are directly attached to the PSU it could be that!

I can't find any suitable plugins or code... ZFS (FreeNAS) is pretty good at reducing file sizes and quote: "ZFS supports real-time data compression. Compression happens when a block is written to disk, but only if the written data will benefit from compression. When a compressed block is accessed, it is automatically decompressed. Since compression happens at the block level, not the file level, it is transparent to any applications accessing the compressed data. By default, ZFS pools made using FreeNAS® version 9.2.1 or later will use the recommended LZ4 compression algorithm"

Take a look at this...! http://download.cnet.com/windows/free-video-compressor/3260-20_4-10342005-1.html Never tried it so may not work!

FreeNAS is a good NAS OS, you will need a spare PC and some drives though. Or run in VM. You can set it up as a mapped network drive and get OBS to export directly to it. You can put on a password and access from any PC or MAC on network. Not sure about compression tho Alternatively, Buy a very cheap MAC mini and use that as a server! Owncloud is good for accessing from anywhere, its a plugin for FreeNAS

hmm...don't think many of ASUS's Routers have that functionality, in know mine does not!

The Ubiquity is a good access point, and connected to your existing router via ethernet will probably provide much better speeds than buying a new router, as the AP only has one job (transmitting your network),whereas a router has 3 (modem, switch and AP). The transmitter in a dedicated access point will be of a much higher quality than one found in a router, and will have a better range.

I would use ubiquity AP's, they are both fast and reliable. UNIFI also have a range of switches and routers available, which will work well with the Access Points.
