Cable Forum - View Single Post - Extension fault

Right, well I've found out this morning that the one with the fault does actually appear to be the master socket (ie the one that I believe is causing the extension to not disconnect properly and the one that seems to be causing the crackling on the line)... I had an argument about it this morning as my dad seems to think it's fine but I know very well that it's not... I want to try and get this sorted out before the 22nd July, as the Sky engineer willl probably agree with me... but I don't want to waste an NTL engineer's time by him turning up looking at it and saying he can't do anything about it - It would just be a lot easier if I sat down with my dad and an NTL engineer and explained the problem...

Of course if we did get an engineer in it would probably also mean taking up the floorboards which my dad isn't too keen on, but I suppose we might have to do that when Sky come along anyway - or at least move quite a bit of furniture out so we don't have cables running all over the floor!

<sighs> Life isn't easy!
