Hi,
When Telewest installed my cable modem and TV STB they connected a 3.7Db splitter to the cable from outside, then from the splitter there are two blue labled looking FM/TV splitters of which FM is capped and the other connects to the TV and CM.
So it looks like -
Outside Cable ----- > 3.7Db Splitter ------> Blue TV/FM splitter ----> CM then (Second 3.7DB Splitter connection) > Blue TV/FM splitter ------- > STB
To save on space and tripping over cables can I not just use one of the blue TV/FM splitters and connect that to the cable coming from outside then connect the 3.7Db splitter to the TV connection of that then connect the CM and STB to the 3.7Db splitter?
So that it would end up being like this -
Outside Cable ----- > Blue TV/FM splitter ------ > 3.7db Splitter -----> CM (second 3.7Db splitter connection) to > STB
My only concern was the mutterings of a fused splitter should be used from the cable coming from outside? Maybe those Blue TV/FM splitters are fused in which case it wont matter?
Thoughts suggestions
Cheers
Matt
