If you’re looking for something hot, it doesn’t come much bigger than a massive win in a huge TV competition.

It’s often going to be particularly hot if you win one of their tropical holidays, as you could find yourself jetting off to sunnier climates for several weeks in the sun.

Of course, while most people love a holiday in the fiery heat under the sun in paradise, what really appeals to most people is a huge cheque in their name, which can hit the winners bank account within weeks of them trying their luck and entering the competition.

You can almost always enter the competition on the ITV website, as they’ve got dedicated pages for each of the TV shows the run comps, as well as some online only draws too.

Here’s a selection of the common shows where you’ll find them:

• Good Morning Britain competition
  ITV’s flagship breakfast show has a competition almost every day – and you’ll normally see the ever energetic Andi Peters pop up to tell you all about it. Common prize packages tend to be worth six figures, making them the highest value on ITV on average.
  Sometimes, they’re just cash, meaning a huge cheque for the winner, but they also come in other forms too, most commonly cash and a car or cash and a holiday, and sometimes all three!
• Lorraine comp
  Lorraine Kelly follows GMB on weekday mornings on ITV1, and shares their competition. That means you don’t necessarily need to enter again to be in with the chance of winning, but of course more entries mean a better chance of being the big winner.
• This Morning prize draw
  Philip and Holly’s mid morning magazine show is the next place you’ll see regular prize draws, and the types of prizes are similar to the ones from the breakfast show, if a little smaller.
• Loose Women comps
  Like GMB and Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women share their daytime competition prize. That again means there’s the chance to get more entries into the same draw if you want a better chance to win.
• Dickinson’s Real Deal cash prize
  David Dickinson is a familiar face to most people, and he has that Marmite effect on people – you either love or hate his shows. Antiques are his thing, and you’ll often see him presenting from the auction room. His comps are run nearly every week, with a big cash prize. They might not be as big as the morning and lunchtime programmes, but they’re certainly big enough to change your life.
• Tipping Point competitions
  Ben Shephard hosts his afternoon quiz show giving four people the chance to win £10,000 by getting the jackpot counter out of his machine, or even £20,000 if they drop a special double counter at the same time. Viewers get their chance to win big too, with the chance to win a similar sized prize.

If you miss the details, their are fansites too to give you the information you need to enter. A great place to start is the itv.com/win coverage at enter competitions online, who cover all the main shows above, plus the big weekend shows like X Factor and I’m a Celebrity when they’re in season. The bonus there too is they really focus on how to get a free entry, rather than paying to get in the draw.

Hopefully, armed with the information you need you’ll be ITV’s next big winner!

Wireless means transmitting signals in a manner that is similar to an addressable multiplex wired system except for the absence of wiring between components and it also utilizes redundant class “A” RF signalling as standard feature. The wireless fire alarm system comprises three components that consist of initiating devices that have RF transmitters, RF transponders that are called repeaters, and control panels. There may also be extras such as display/printers, RS 232 computer interfaces as well as remote annunciator as well as relay receivers.

A typical wireless alarm system may operate between 290-305 MHz bands which is called the “forbidden band” due to the fact that no commercial radio signals are permitted in this range of frequencies. It would also include wireless transmitting devices such as photoelectric smoke detectors; pull stations, heat detectors as well as maintenance transmitters to connect devices with contacts, and also a host of security devices.

Many Advantages

The wireless fire alarm system provides users with many advantages that are suited for all types of occupancies as well as facilities. As can be deduced, the main advantages emanate from the lack of wire runs and trenching, and the installation time is but a fraction of that of conventional systems. In addition, the wireless fire alarm system can also afford a grouping of multiple emergencies on one system that has a redundant class “A” signalling path.

Not having wires to contend with makes the wireless fire alarm system very cost effective, and is a viable alternative to get protection from fires that may otherwise have proved to be unavailable due to economic, environmental or aesthetic constraints. An example of such a constraint would be a building with asbestos and multiple building facilities with antiquated underground wiring systems.

Progression Of Commercial Systems

In the course of the past twenty-five years, commercial wireless fire alarm systems have found greater utility in all types of occupancy including industrial facilities, high rise buildings, universities and colleges, historical properties, museums, hotels, court houses, golf and ski resorts as well as state and federal facilities.

The wireless fire alarm system uses binary tone encoded radio signals in order to transmit signals, rather than using wiring, conduit, cable, line carrier, fibre optics or any other physical intermediary method. Thus, such a fire alarm system will not be subject to inherent problems because it operates on radio signals. The wireless concept also allows for fast as well as efficient solutions regarding maintenance as it does away with the need to check a wiring maze or electrical connections.
