A Race against Time!

Post by deckard »

Tomorrow (Monday) I have the NTL men coming to install cable T.V. I have been running with SKY for yonks but recently I have been suffering from picture break ups, frame freezes, no signal and other assorted hassles. Despite SKY helpline telling me to do everything apart from stand in a bucket of water with my right arm pointing upwards nothing has improved. So, time for a change, the only problem is like me most of you I guess haven't taken a peek behind your T.V for a while?

Cables, Scart Leads, Mains Leads and Speaker wire running wild all over the place. It looks like a rouge mouse or my cat has taken up rope knotting as a hobby or should I call it cable knotting. So, the men from NTL will think I am a technical moron if I don't get some order back behind my T.V before they get here.

With enough dust build up to cultivate a new strain of mushroom to add to my problems I am currently immersed in open heart surgery of the `Back of the T.V kind`

Lets hope I get it done before I fall asleep and more importantly lets hope that it all still works correctly when I am finnished?

Thanks for reading.

I certainly know how that looks like, I'm growing a plantation in certain corners of my flat too. ;)

here is a tip that works grand, take the tubes you get your wrapping paper on and slit them lenthwise then use that as a kind of cable "wrap" and things lie neat and tidy and all conceled into one tube. As well a lable or 2 is good as mentioned.
