UPC box - cable to connect to the UPC box to the UPC installed wire!

    I have moved house and taken my UPC box with me. The house is rigged up for UPC but when I went to plug in the TV box I realised I have forgotten one of the wires and don't have access to my old place any more. There are 2 UPCwires comming out of the wall - one for broadband connects straight in to the broadband box but the other won't connect to the UPC tv box so I need some sort of cable. Basically need to know what this cable would be called and where I can get one - it connects the screwy type UPC wire that is installed to the circular point in UPC box (I'm totally clueless of this type of thing).

    Anyone got any ideas. Thanks!

    You're talking of an F plug to coax cable, I'd imagine. Peats or similar will stock them. You might need a splitter also.

    You need a splitter which I suspect you'll need to get from UPC, I'm fairly certain that it's a filter as well as a splitter, it looks like the device linked to in Mountjoy Mugger's post above. One of the ports on the wallbox is FM radio only, the other port is connected to the splitter and the splitter in turn is connected to the digital decoder box and the BB router. That's my setup anyway.
