    Re-Wiring Telephone into house.

    Hi Shaney, Ok the Orange/Blue is your main external pair. You dont need the Green/Brown with that cable at all. That pair should terminate onto a BT NTE5 on the SCREW terminations on the backplate. Dosent matter which way round you put them. It sounds like you have an old style NTE which...

    tv/ sky picture

    It sounds like u should have it on 16:9, and albeit you dont have the border top and bottom, you wont be losing much left and right if at all. Its better having a widescreen, but not essential.

    Re-Wiring Telephone into house.

    Thats absolutely fine. You are well within your rights to do that yourself. Only problem is if you DO mess it up, or a fault occurs due to work you've carried out and you have to call out an engineer to sort it, they will more than likely charge you. I assume the box you refer to is a small...

    Talking of car adverts, the one for the Nissan X Trail (it flicks through them all) where it shows the cars taking on other forms (Snake, Spider etc) is very well done.
