[QUOTE="boltonsparky, post: 505923, member: 4678"] Seeing some heating wiring delights in the past you could test it dead and then under certain conditions it could become live. The only way to ensure it is dead is finding the other end and disconnecting it. It's a relatively simple job but one that is worth getting someone qualified in to do. It wouldn't be the first time that someone has been told/assumed that a cable is dead and just cut off and left in the wall for the cable/wall at a later date to be found to be live. Or worst case you mount your tv on the wall clipping the cable with a screw and the bracket then becomes live. [/QUOTE]
