Verizon FIOS has just been installed in my neighborhood and I am trying to find out the performance and installation specifics to decide whether to switch to it. It has been difficult to obtain the technical details, but the latest info I have obtained about in-house distribution is that the signals - TV, phone, and internet - are distributed over telephone lines. This presents no problems for phone and internet, but the TV signal is connected to the set top box using a coax cable. I have two TVs that I would connect to FIOS neither having a coax terminated phone line near them. I have run a loose 4-wire phone line terminated in an RJ10 modular plug to each TV to connect to my existing satellite receivers.

To avoid the in-house installation wiring charges, I believe I can establish the connection by replacing the RJ10 plugs on my existing loose phone wires with male coax connectors that would attach to the set top box, or a female coax connector to which I could connect a short male-to-male coax cable. I have been unable to locate any RJ10 to coax adapter plugs, so what I need to know is how to connect the phone wires to the coax connector. My choice would be the green (+ or tip) wire to the coax center conductor and the red (- or ring) wire to the coax shield. I'd probably have to break out the soldering iron for the first time in a long time.

I could use the trial and error method, only two choices, but if anyone knows for sure, I'd certainly appreciate it. Thanx so much! ]]> Landline Phones richie56 http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/landline-phones/rj10-modular-coax-connector-wiring-418105.html http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/landline-phones/want-change-nid-wiring-eliminate-2nd-phone-line-417884.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 23:23:34 GMT I have two phone lines in my house and want to remove one. Our main line is in the kitchen, and the alternate is in the office & is hooked up to the DSL. I want to get rid of the alternate line in the office, and change it so that the jack serves our main line & the DSL. There is a splitter already at the office jack for the DSL.

How do I make the wire change at the NID? I can see that there are two screws, one holding red/yellow & a blue wire, the other with green/black & a white wire. I am confused. How do I physically make the change to get back to the one main phone line?

Does anything have to change at the actual jack in the office? I realize that I will have to change my DSL setup with my company to the main phone number, but does anything else need to happen?

I hope this makes sense and really appreciate any help! :) ]]> Landline Phones emahan http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/landline-phones/want-change-nid-wiring-eliminate-2nd-phone-line-417884.html http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/landline-phones/rewiring-phone-jack-so-can-have-phone-one-internet-417787.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:48:46 GMT I am getting internet in my house and the phone co. said i had to rewirer the line in my bedroom so it would not mess with my other phone line how do i rewire it and do you have a pic i could go by I am getting internet in my house and the phone co. said i had to rewirer the line in my bedroom so it would not mess with my other phone line how do i rewire it and do you have a pic i could go by ]]> Landline Phones solo3179 http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/landline-phones/rewiring-phone-jack-so-can-have-phone-one-internet-417787.html
