Hopefully your STB has pass through. If it does you will have a coax going into the back of your TV from the STB that shows 1-4 and the cable box output. You can do what you want with the output from this cable. |
That's my understanding too. Trouble is, there isn't a pass-through o/p on my STB. Life would be a whole lot easier if there were!
When I asked the installation engineer about adding extra analogue TV's he said the cable would drive 'several' (I think he said 5 or 6) so I'm fairly sure I wouldn't be wrecking the network.
I think I read somewhere on the site that a separate pass-through unit is available from NTL, am I right? This would certainly help, especially if it doesn't have to be near the STB. Anyone know where can I get more info on this?
