Re-wiring external cable from "junction box" to wa...

Hi everyone,
Newbie here.
Some time ago I had my wood front door and frame replaced by a uPVC one.
This has resulted in the telephone cable being revealed - it can no longer be hidden behind the door frame.
It would be neater for the cable to be re-routed from the junction box (the point that the telephone line attaches to the house) through the brick to the wall socket . It currently goes back across the property and through the door frame.
So, which BT department do I need to contact in this respect and can someone give me an indication of the cost of undertaking this work?
Thanks in advance,
guh.

It's not the socket I want to move. I'd like to re-route the external cable so that it comes into the property where the main socket is sited. I could live with that price though. Thanks.

Best Way to Set up Wired and Wireless with Junction Box

I have searched but not found my exact situation. I have a cable modem in a junction box in the laundry room. I have wired ethernet access in three rooms. I would like to set up a wireless network. If I use a WRTG54 wireless router inside the junction box, what kind of wireless signal would I get? This would be the easiest, but I don't know how good the signal would be with the wireless router mounted inside the box.
My second option would be to have someone wire another phone outlet somewhere in the house and use a wireless access point at that location (I already have a WAP I can use).
The third option is to use a regular router in the junction box and then use a wireless router in one of the three rooms, which would be wired to one computer and also serve as the wireless access point. Does this work?
Thanks for any assistance.

You can set-up your wrt54g router along with your modem and use an access point(wap54g) in repeater mode and use it to connect all the wireless devices across your home...

MSI MEGA 533 with FM Radio won't connect on USB! Brand new from a box !!!

hello,
i'm having trouble connecting MSI MEGA 533 with FM Radio, on usb port on my computer.
I've tried to connect it on USB 2.0 port on laptop and desktop computer, with MS Windows XP SP2 installed, nothing happens. When I start player it works like a charm, i can listen to radio stations, record radio station, and record voice, but when i try to connect it to USB via cable from a box nothing happens.
I've tried to downgrade it to firmware version from cd, with a standard procedure, hold play button, start download software, connect via usb cable, and the player is not detected by computer.
PLEASE if there is a way you can help post your reply as soon as possible.
Thanks

Hi gagac
Try uninstalling the current driver on your computer and download the following driver.
http://rapidshare.de/files/20262928/MS5533.zip.html
This driver is a backup copy that I uploaded on rapidshare from my Original CD Rom that came with my player & I know that it works with firmware v1.00.06.
What I find is unusual is that you got firmware v1.00.06 on your player straight out of the box as it usually comes with v1.00.01 or v1.00.02.
If the above driver doesn't work, and since that you have Windows XP, you may want to try upgrading to firmware v2.00.02. NOTE: You will need to also download driver v1.672 from the MSI Website as this is the only driver that works with v2.00.02.
CARE: You may want to read the below topic first before upgrading to v2.00.02 as there have been some issues concerning driver v1.672 & v2.00.02.

Connecting the coax cable (from the wall) to my tv instead of box?

I was told this:
Though I though in order for the set top box to work you need the coax plugged into the box?
Please wait for a Samsung Agent to respond.

You are now chatting with 'Danice'. There will be a brief survey at the end of our chat to share feedback on my performance today.
{edited for privacy}
Danice: Hi, thank you for reaching out to Samsung technical support. How may I assist you?
David: Hi the UN40F6400AFXZA tv how do I use the tv function? I have the HDMI cable in the tv to the set top box but when I hit the tv option on source using my remote all I get is "white snow"?
Danice: I would be happy to assist you with the instructions to change the source on the TV.
Danice: What are the devices connected to the TV?
David: no I think you mis understand me.
David: Hi the UN40F6400AFXZA tv how do I use the tv function? I have the HDMI cable in the tv to the set top box but when I hit the tv option on source using my remote all I get is "white snow"?
David: am I talking to a robot or a real person?
Danice: I am sorry for the confusion.
Danice: You are chatting with a Live Person.
Danice: I would be happy to assist you with the information about the TV source on the TV.
David: ok
Danice: The TV source on the TV is nothing but the cable from the wall or antenna connected to the coaxial port on the TV.
Danice: You should connect an antenna or cable from the wall to this port and perform the auto programming through Menu options to get the display.
David: oh the cable from the wall goes to the cable box though?
Danice: No, this port is only for the cable from the wall directly to the coaxial port on the TV.
David: I'm confused cause my cable provider says the cable from the wall goes into the coax on the set top box? So how would the set top box work without the coax plugged in?
Danice: I will clarify that for you.
Danice: The Coaxial port on the TV will work only for the air channels like Antenna or cable from the wall and this is not applicable for the cable by the service provider you are referring to.
David: ok
David: also my other question is UN40F6400AFXZA dose it support Audio Return HDMI?
Danice: I will check that for you.
Danice: Yes, the HDMI 2 is the ARC port on the TV.
David: awesome how do I set it up?
Danice: Yes, follow the instructions mentioned in the link below to use the ARC feature:

Danice: Are you able to access the link?
David: yes thank you

The Verizon signal is delivered via coas to the set-top box which allows you to get all of the channels you subscribe to. You then hook the STB your TV (recommended via HDMI in your case since you have an HD set with HDMI inputs). The coax signal must be supplied to both your STB and your router.
If you plug your coax directly into you TV and do a channel scan, you will only recieve local channels (and a couple of others) because all other channels are encrypted and require an STB (or a cable card with an appropriate device) to decode.

Charged £144 for having my external junction box c...

In September last year, we.noticed that the cover to the external junction box for the phone line was missing.
We called BT and was told it was a maintenance issue and an engineer would be sent out to replace it.
Engineer came, and wasn't happy to attempt to replace it using ladders, because of the position of our porch, so he called an engineer with a cherry picker.
Box was duly replaced and we were told that no charge would be made, as it was a maintenance issue.
We have now been charged a call out fee of £144 by our home phone provider, the Post Office, because they have been charged by BT. While we have been informed that all external maintenance issues are the responsibility of BT, we are still being told that the cost in this instance is down to the end user.
Can anyone clarify, please?

Its Openreach which set the criteria, BT Retail, and other Service Providers simply pass that information on to their customers.
Your Service Provider should have a similar web page on their help pages.
The one I pointed to you, is specific to BT Retail only, but as you have discovered, your Service Provider does the same.
This forum is a BT Retail one, and has nothing to do with Openreach, who are a separate company.

Junction box

Can someone help with this please. I have a grey junction box at the point where BT wiring enters the house. On the right of this is the wiring to the master socket. On the left of the junction box, in addition to the external wiring, is the wiring to an extension socket in another room. I read that this is the wrong way to add extensions. It was done many years ago by BT. Would this be causiing any noise problems which might affect my broadband speed. If so am I allowed to remove the extension wiring myself or does this have to be done by BT and is it chargeable.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Your extension wiring can sometimes act like a radio aerial and the radio signals it picks up interfere with your broadband. Star wiring or T-wiring is particularly prone to this and this is what you have by virtue of your extension. On the other hand, if your extension is wired with twisted-pair cable (like the telephone input cable) then it should be okay. Did BT/GPO use twisted-pair in the days when they wired telephone extensions anyone?

Internal first junction box (BT80A)

As part of some internal decorating, we had our junction box unscrewed from the wall...
...and, of course, now we can't find the wall-fixing screw or the top cover.
Just to clarify, this is the first junction box in the house - the pcb has BT80A/92A printed on it. Feeding into the box are the external telephone line (2 wires, connected via cross-head screws, to A and B connectors, with Earth unused), and the internal phone cable (via 3 push-fit connectors, again labelled A, B, and Earth).
Question - where can I get a new cover, or a new box for that matter? Can I fit it, or is it a BT-only job?

You're not supposed to work on this yourself, but I don't think anybody will really complain if you just fit a new cover. Don't try reterminating the wires on the IDC ("Push fit") connectors without the proper tool !
BT will bill you for about £120 if you call them out to do this for you......

BT wired / wireless connections - You View box and...

We have connected the BT Home Hub 4 to the You View box (using the 10 metre ethernet cable as a temporary measure until the electrician moves the power socket and we can use the powerline adaptors instead). We are using an HDMI cable to connect the You View box to the Panasonic Viera Smart TV.
When the You View box is recording two other programmes, to watch something via the internet on the smart tv, we would previously have used a wireless signal to the tv, but it does not seem to work.
The laptop works fine wirelessly in the same room, so the router must be producing a wireless signal, but the TV is seemingly unable to find the network (wirelessly or wired) while the ethernet cable is plugged into the You View box.
Does this mean the only option to watch internet only programmes on the tv is to disconnect the ethernet cable from the You View box and connect it to the tv? Or if we disconnect the ethernet cable from the router, would the tv then pick up the wireless signal? It would be better to not have to disconnect anything....
Please advise, thanks.

SOLVED - we had to do a factory reset on the tv, to get it to link to the new BT home hub.... it was linked to our previous router from the previous ISP.,.

Broken coax cable from circuit board to Airport Extreme

I picked up this 1.25Ghz-DP/1024MB/FW800 off the internet knowing that it did not come with either the Airport Extreme or the Bluetooth (1.1) module. No big deal, since I have an AE and would be looking for the BT Module. To my surprise, its "AE/Bluetooth-ready" status was compromised by the removal of the AE card using a pair of side cutters (or some other crude cutting tool), leaving a frizzy antenna cable running back down into the space between the chassis and the case. It would appear that the BT antenna is intact, for what it is worth.
I know there would be some challenges, but I am wondering if the part is available that includes the circuit board, the antenna, and the antenna coax leading from the circuit board back to the connector on the AE. Or maybe the part numbers?
I plan to use this for an older version Digidesign's Pro Tools, so I am going to remove the two four-port cards (one FW, one USB) and replace them with the PT Mix Core and Farm(s). I would prefer not to go with the USB dongle, since I know there can be flakiness with USB and PT. My alternative to taking the plunge with a soldering iron and some parts would be to get an AEBS nearby and connecting with ethernet.
The computer sees the card in System profiler, but without the antenna fully deployed, it fires blanks. Are the resources for the connector and cable that could be put together to paste it back in place or better yet, a place to get the complete unit to change it out. I guess I would be looking for the BT module, too as long as I am at it, but that is not a critical issue.
Thanks---Dave Iverson

Hi Dave,
Here is a third-party external extension antenna that might replace the existing stub:
http://www.macwireless.com/html/products/antennas_boosters/whips.php
Installation in a G4 mini-tower is easy; you only need to remove a PCI slot cover on the back to run the cable outside the box. I have no personal experience with this; just something I found in searching after I read your post.
Danny,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Looks like the above product should work for an iMac. Check the list of instructions on the page I linked to see if they list your computer. I suspect you have to take something apart to run the cable. Also check the iMac G5 forums to see if someone there has already figured it out for that model. The iMac G5 hardware is nothing like the G4 mini-towers that are the subject of this forum area, so your chances of getting the right answer for your specific computer are better in the other forum I linked.
If you are having trouble figuring out how to start your own thread (so many people do that I must ask), see this Apple info:

No connection between junction box and flat??

I moved into a new built apartment 2 months ago. Ordered a phoneline and finally got the engineer to come in to connect the phoneline. However after several checks, he said the connection between the junction box and our flat had been cut! He also said it is not BT's responsibility as the cut is situated in a private part of the building and the managing agent should have a team of engineer to do the job! Now I have been told by both BT and our managing agent that it is not their responsibility to fix it. I am disconnected for 2 months already! Whose responsbility is it to connect our flat??

When you say 'Junction Box' are you referring to an Internal Distribution Point located somewhere in the block of flats, usually in a basement or cupboard that houses the utilities like the electric metres, etc?
If so then I am afraid the person/company who owns that building will need to fix it or come to some sort of arrangement with Openreach to get cable from the Internal DP to your flat because Openreach can't just go knocking through walls or even running several metres of cabling up and around the door frames of other residents flats.
Although it might be worth checking round the flat for a hidden socket because a few weeks back I went to a job where I couldn't tone back the NTE in the flat to an Internal DP. When I took off the NTE cover I realised the cable to it was a 3 pair Cat5e but the cable back at the DP was 4 pair 8 core wire? I took off all the extension LJU's in the flat and they all had 3 pair Cat5e connecting them as well so I could only assume there was a block terminal hidden somewhere that connected the 8 core wire to the Cat5e that supplied the NTE.
Anyway after several minutes of scratching my head I soon discovered the customer had one of those dual telephone/Sky/TV sockets hidden behind her ridiculously big TV. Turns out the 8 core wire went to that socket and the NTE was really being used as an extension.

I think I know the answer but just to be sure - connecting a data cable & the ONT box....

So I have an ONT box with Coax out - it provides TV, phone & data. I have a PC I'd like to connect, unfortunately it isn't wireless & even if it were, it is too far from the router to pick up wireless. However it is close to the ONT box so running a cable from there would be ideal. However my understanding is if you are wired with Coax, the ethernet port in the box is disabled.
So is my only option running physical cable from my router to this PC? It is a very long run and it wouldn't be easy. Any other suggestions or is the only way?
Thanks,
BC

That is correct.
Since you have coax at the ONT, your main splitter is probably close by.
You could connect a MOCA adapter to your main splitter.
That would give you an ethernet port you could connect to.
Can I get an ethernet connection in a room with only coax?

You really need a newer Mac Mini with a true HDMI output, because that Mac Mini's DVI output does not support Audio.
You might try a 3.5mm to RCA adapter
from the Mac Mini's headphone jack to the TV's audio input,
but that would require being able to select the Audio input in the TVs menu while using it's HDMI input.
Optionally you could also use an external 2.1 Speaker System or patch the audio from the Mac Mini to your home stereo system to enhance that older Mac Mini's audio.

How many pictures (or how many bytes) are we talking? Now that the pictures are imported one way to cross users is to use a removable drive (although large volumes of files preclude this).
The other is to login as the user where the pictures are, then copy them into the public drop box of the user where you want the picture.
The arrow is showing (in ths example) copy files from the Pictures folder for my user to the guest user accounts public dropbox. When you do this you may have to authenticate and you won't be able to see the results of the copy until you log in as the other user.

How do I set up HP TouchSmart 600-1215xt with TV Tuner to Digital cable set top box?

I just purchased the HP TouchSmart 600-1215xt CTO Desktop PC with TV Tuner ATSC-NTSC w PVR & remote. I want to connect it to my HDTV cable set top box (Cox Cable) so I can record TV programs from digital cable and stream NetFlix video to my 52 in Samsung 1080p HDTV. Where can I find instructions for how to configure this set up?
Thanks in advance!

There is HDMI input with TV tuner
To expand on my post above, the TV tuner does NOT have HDMI input. If you read the User Guide that came with the TouchSmart (p.7, 8), the TV tuner's input is actually an F-type coaxial -- you either use an antenna for an ATSC signal (over-the-air) or NTSC *analog* cable (which is become more rare all the time). You set it up using Windows Media Center, page 18 through to top half of page 22 document how to connect a set top box using various analog (composite or s-video) cables. You can not use component and you can not use HDMI.
