I know this is the wrong newsgroup but I cannot find the diy one.

uk.d-i-y added to the newsgroups list.

Either my server has removed it or I just cant find it. Anyway, I have
economy 7 electricity and they have just replaced the meter with a
digital one and I cannot work it out and I have tried the internet but
they give N and L for the tariff readings

I think mine states 1 and 2


Can someone tell me which " T" and "R" stand for? I know one is night
and one day but I dont know which.

On my meter the only one displayed is the one that represents that time of
day.
i.e 8:30am to about 12:30am (just after midnight) the day rate is displayed
(default)
but at nigth when (cough) economy 7 is running the night rate is diplayed by
default.

This is exceptionally important
since there is something wrong with the electricity supply and the
thing is using 200 quid worth of electricity a month and I have nothing
on.

Well put your cloths back on, and you won;t need the heater on ;-)


Dispute the bill *now*. Worry about why later.

perhaps the meter reader read it worng they did with mine.
There are actualy 3 possible displays on mine.
if say the first is say the day rate, the second is the night rate and a
third displays
the total day+night I assume this is used for error checking or to detect
any
fiddling, buit they could have read this rate as either the day or night
which would be higher than either alone.



The easy way to tell which is which is to see which one clicks up during
the day. Read it in the morning and then again in the evening. One should
have stayed static and the other gone up by say 5 to 25.

You might be able to just on a few heavy appliances and what it change
within a few minutes.
I just brough one of those remote elec. usage checkers from B&Q reduced
