Tidied up the wiring |
Wire going into the wall |
Brand new wall plate |
Spent a good part of the morning replacing the wire to the living room TV (which has wire that is 24 years old) and it came out pretty good. I also cleaned up that rat's nest of wires on my basement ceiling and tidied things up with the splitters. I had to replace the low voltage bracket that holds the wall plate to the wall because the screws were stripped and the bracket was broken. Otherwise the project went smoothly (no messed up fittings). I also found that the jumper from the wall plate to the TiVo (which is going to go into storage when I get the whole house DVR installed) had a "sucked out" fitting.
Hopefully this will ensure that my signals and wiring is good enough for the MoCA signals from the whole house setup. The dual cable is about 10 years old and dates back to when Springfield had the old dual (A/B) cable system that was rebuilt later that year (2002-2003). The twin lead cable is handy though because one feeds the modem and the other feeds the TV in the same room.
I also installed a new wall plate as the old one was a dual wall plate that dated back to the old A/B cable system days.
