Hi,

Not sure how easy this is, perhaps someone with more knowledge than me can point me in the right direction.

Firstly I live in one of those council areas where the flat I live in doesnt have a rooftop aerial just a wire coming out of wall connected to ntl for tv viewing.

Anyway ive got the wire coming out of the wall, about halfway around the room an enginneer put in a white spillter box, one end is for TV the other end travels around to other side of room and ends in a single white box to which my cable modem is connected. Neither of these boxes are connected to the wall, their just sat on floor.

I recently got given a tv card for pc for free and in the ideal world i could split the cable again at the second white box and have one end for cable modem and ther other to plug into my tv card. Just to make myself clear i have no setup box the only service i subscribe to is ntls internet service.

How easy is this or would I need a ntl enginneer to sort it?

thx in advance if anyone replies.
