Help installing coax (cable tv) upstairs

I just rearranged my room around, and I saw a cable outlet (dual-attached coax cable) near the new spot for my tv. My room is pretty large, and there are 2 coax cable outlets on opposite sides of the room-- 1 currently being used by Adelphia High Speed Internet. However, the other cables were "unused" -- ie I had to cut away the wire shielding and I plucked on a coax screw end thing. I've tried not using the screw end, and just using the copper wire straight into the tv, into the vcr, and the only thing that happens is that the image gets clearer (than without the wire at all).

My tv only gets the simple 2-13 reception channels, and won't give me my full 70 channel cable... Am I missing something? Or is the 2nd set of wires not connected to Adelphia? If anyone can help, please let me know!

Thanks,

Peter
