Shortening The Virgin Cable To Tv

[hc4361]

My cable is yards too long and looks unsightly - is it easy to lop the excess off and reattach the connecting end?

Not looking hopeful, is it? Thanks, Hans

I have no idea what like the cabling looks but could you not double it up and put it in a cable tidy such as

I just want it gone, Corby - there is 20ft of excess cable neatly coiled up but still looks ugly on my carpet :(

I dont see a problem with shortening the cable to the TV. Bit different if changing the outer cable (although I can assure you it can be done).

Did all mine with no problems, I had little choice in the end as they failed to come out to fix the initial problem. In the end I got the meter out and fixed the issue and sorted the cable at the same time.

I suspect that link is referring to rather a lot taken off, is the cable really yards too long from the wall to the tv? There is usually a box on the wall with a spliter for TV/Router. It uses an F connector. Simple enough. Note thre are different sizez of F connector depending on the cable size.

It could be said that I have been AWOL, although I do look-in AB regularly every day. The truth is that AB has become overpopulated with a lot of folk who haven't a clue about what's what, but mustn't be corrected because they are part of a clique and have moderators on their sides.

Thanks, young :) I would need detailed instructions on how to get the end off the cable and reattach it - is it same as with the tv aerial?

You've been missed, Hans. Ignore the cliques, I haven't noticed any

Please don't spout nonsense which is patently untrue, and for which you have no evidence whatsoever, it detracts from the site generally, and offends people who moderate in order to try and govern the site for the benefit of all.

@andy-hughes......If you can't add anything by way of answering the question in this thread, it would be better in my opinion that you refrain from commenting.

You have No proof that I am unable to substantiate my views and,acknowledging your position an AB moderator, I do Not consider you to be impartial on matters.

Sorry hc431 that there has been a digression in this thread.

Well said Hans. I concur.

Since it is you who has instigated this diversion, that is rather hypocritical of you, don't you think? Never mind, don't bother.


You have No proof that I am unable to substantiate my views … //

I am sure if you had 'proof' you would be unable to resist offering it, so the absence speaks for itself.

// … and,acknowledging your position an AB moderator, I do Not consider you to be impartial on matters. //

Just to ensure you know how the system works, apart from the Editorial Team, no-one on here knows which Moderators have deleted which post or thread.

Therefore, you have no idea which threads or posts I have deleted, so you have no basis whatsoever to assume any impartiality on my part.

If you think I lack impartiality as a poster, then fine, because as a poster, I can be as impartial as everyone else, even you.

I have been a Moderator on here as long as there have been Moderators, and if I bothered every time someone like you popped up to have a go, I'd spend my time crying in the corner, but obviously I couldn't care less, but if you are going to malign my fellow Moderators you are going to get called out on it, for the nasty unfounded thread-swerving nonsense that it is.

Don't hurry back.

Really? Well, I am amazed!!!!

Please read my response to Hans, and know that since I have to deal with your endless needy childish pointless desire to follow me round this site advising anyone who cares (which by now is no-one at all) that you have an unfounded and frankly weird stalker-ish vendetta against me for reasons I don't know, and care even less, that my lack of interest in Han's opinion of me about anything I say or do, goes double for you.

I'm getting the impression of 'shrill'.

Calm down dear and stop making EVERYTHING about you, please.

[HansUrbancka]

Andy....Pack it in, you are making a fool of yourself.

However. if you wish to have a quarrel with me, please start your own thread for my attention and give me the opportunity to call for a vote of No-confidence in you.

Hans.

[andy-hughes]

Hans - // Andy....Pack it in, you are making a fool of yourself. //

Your opinion again, and you know my view on your opinions.

// However. if you wish to have a quarrel with me, please start your own thread for my attention and give me the opportunity to call for a vote of No-confidence in you. //

You seriously over-estimate your importance in my wish to argue with you - I would 'start a thread', but I've got to put the items in the fridge in alphabetical order.

Priorities - I am sure you understand, but obviously, I don't care if you don't.

If that is aimed at me, you will see that I am defending my fellow Moderators against attack.

I am less than remotely bothered what the occasional chippy AB'er feels is them being hard done to - but I do believe in defending others who are doing a job and don't need to have their integrity maligned doing it.

None so blind.

I'm done.
