I moved into my flat this morning which had Cable already installed and therefore I could benefit from the quick start installation.
Got my box as planned and began setting it up.
I began to notice that were they had put the splitter was nowhere near any plugs. However the TV cable had been ran neatly to where the plugs were so there was no problem with TV.
However there is no plug for my broadband modem. Unless i trail a lead across the room.
I noticed that were the Cable comes into the house, there is a few metres of cable then there is like and extention where two cable leads meet and joined somehow to create and extention.
I was thinking that where the splitter is currently, would it be possible to remove the splitter and insert a middle bit to basically join the two wires and making just one wire going all the way from where it comes into the house to where the neatly ran current TV cable is. Then placing the splitter where the cable is next to the plugs and going from there.
The main question is, what part(if any available) would i need in order to connect the two cables as mentioned above.
I hope this is possible rather than waiting to get an engineer out to sort it all.
Cheers
Matt
