Hi. Sorry if this has been discussed in depth but I could not find it on any of the other threads.

I have NTL (Brighton) with a pace box (green remote) and have been reading the forum on installing a splitter, as there is not one in my flat. I went to Maplins and bought the splitter (they had no 2 way so bought 4 way) as has been outlined here. However as soon as I installed it the broadband modem started flashing and then disappeared. I'd used some left over f cable with the correct ends I found in the flat. Do I need to use special cable from the splitter to the Digibox .

I spoke to NTL engineer via phone and he said that he did not think there was a normal terrestrial feed on the digital cable as well as all the "we don't condone it" stuff as well.

Any help appreciated
