I have a new house (brand new), comes with tv aerial & phone sockets pre installed up and downstairs etc.
However, i have noticed that the only tv aerial socket and phone sockets that actually work are the ones in the living room, they are the main ones obviously.
In the bedroom i unscrewed the front covers off both the tv aerial socket and the phone socket, i was surprised to see that they are actually connected up as if to work, hmmmm i thought.
I then went up the loft to see where the cables went (nearly killing myself in the process when falling out of loft, Hidden Content ), i traced the tv areial cable to the booster thats in the loft, so i guess thats where its meant to be and the booster must be working i think as the main downstair tv is working fine, and the phone cable, well i couldnt trace it very far as it went away across the loft under the insulation and stuff.
In the phone socket in the bedroom, i noted down the wire sequence when i opened it up, there is 6 little screw holes to put the wires, but only 3 wires appear to be poking out of the cable and they are connected like this >>
white with blue bands - screw 5
blue - screw 2
orange - screw 3
(there are other wires in the cable but they are cropped back and i cant see them).
Iam hoping someone can maybe give me an idea whats going on as neither the phone or the tv sockets work upstairs yet they appear to be connected, hmmm, strange.
