    hi all, as our house has walls 2.8 foot thick the radio station we we prefer to listen to has gone swalkey and weak, is there a reciver/radio whatever with a strong tuner which will make listening a pleasure once again, i can recieve it on my lappy, is there a way in which the music can be streamed from the lappy to our three in one, which has an aux input, as both are roughly 20ft from each other, thanks in advance for your help.

    You could send the audio from the laptop to the 3 in 1 using this type of cable. I'm assuming the aux input on the 3-in-1 is a pair of phono sockets for left & right. The jack plug on the right would go into the headphone socket in the laptop. You can buy this cable in any electrical or PC shop, don't pay more than €12 but you might find it for a lot less.

    If you can't find a long version of that cable, buy the standard length (typically between 1 and 2 metres) plus an audio extension cable (below) which will have two phono plugs at one and and two phono sockets at the other, you can buy these cables in different lengths, usually starting at 2m and going up to 10m or longer.

    Do you have a tuner with an input for an external aerial? That would be the best way to go about getting a decent signal.
