Speaking of internet-ready TVs:
For my day job, I fix phone lines. Fault came through today - no
dialtone, line test showed hard short on the line. Turned out the
customer's daughter had plugged the LAN port on her TV into a phone
jack in her bedroom, via an RJ45 to BT adapter.
Ethernet ports put a hard short on the blue/blue-white pair, which
RJ45-BT adapters map to the phone pair. This will result in your
dialtone going dead and incoming calls getting a busy signal.
