    Hi All,
    Parents have Telewet into their new house. They got the young lad from company to put lead upstairs to connect The Box upstairs. He, however, snipped the wire that was originally connected between to the 'brown box' outside the house and their living room. Result? They can't now watch their Telewet box in the living room at all. They phoned Telewet and asked if someone could come out and connect the living room again as they did not want it 'snipped', but they will only connect one room. My parents told them that they did not wish to pay £10.00 extra each month for another box - they just want to carry Telewet Box from room to room when they go to bed etc. I have looked at the outside box and as well as the main coax cable, there is a very small thin blue wire that connects to it on each 'line out'. Can I merely put a double f adaptor on to the cable that feeds in from the road and reconnect the living room, or does this wee blue wire on all Telewet cables outside do anything?

    Cheers for any help....My story seems a bit long, but hpefullt you get the drift! lol

    cheers for that, but I did know that wuch..hehe

    My main point, which I did not get through is that the main junction box (outside) is located on the gable wall right outside the living room. They snipped the between that and the living room 'wall socket/box' thing..i.e. the cable that connected inside and outside.
    They live in a big house, and the guy, after disconecting the living room wire (from the outside) ran a cable from this junction outside the house to the upstairs back of the house - to the bedroom.
    To save me running a 50m cable back round the inside of the househouse, I was just wondering if I could conect the outside junction box (which remember is located right outside the living room window) to the living room by using a two way splitter OUTSIDE - which leaves the wire going upstairs intact, by using a simple coax cable .(the main thing standing in my way seems to be the fact that the wire that comes from this box to the bedroom also has a fine blue wire connected outside and I am just loking for advice on what this wee blue wire actually does - if anything)

    PHEW

    cheers.

    hi i use to work as a installer for verg1n and i think that they have just run a simies cable thats catv and telco so the thin blue 1 is just for your phone you dont need to use it. just put your splitter on the catv and away you go it work fine.

    Many thanks. Hopefully the thin blue one is a phone. I will try a splitter and put in into the living room from outside and see what happens.
