    Ok , you live and learn. All done. I didn’t realise the instructions when setting up clearly show how to wire the receiver for the bdr91.
    At least I was forced to find out what “potential free” is. Don’t necessarily understand it, but I know what it is.
    But all good and tado system seems great so far.

    Apparently im not allowed to take cover off the boiler even to look at the wiring on the board.

    P.S. the bare cables in BDR91 are not my handywork. This is the first time i have seen inside the box. The Pro Installer fitted this.

    What was the answer for this please? I have the same wireing on my old bdr91. do you do as you have said and put both live into the tado terminal? It is what I am assuming but can't find any info and the help centre are not being very quick
