UPC Splitter Question

Hi Everyone, I have a broadband only package with UPC. Based on my research I understand that if I install a coax splitter into the UPC point that delivers my broadband, I should be able to conntect a coax cable from the splitter to the back of the TV and should be able to tune in basic channels. Is the above correct? What…

Hi Everyone,

Is the above correct?

What channels might I be able to receive.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I have just moved into a rented house with a UPC access point.

There is currently a 3 way splitter attached and there is a white coax cable running from point 1 to a TV, there is nothing plugged into point 2 and there is another coax cable in point 3 which is further split along the line to another 2 TV's.

The new broadband router arrived today and i figured i could just plug the coax cable into the middle slot of the 3 way splitter which was free. It worked perfectly but eventually kept knocking off the signal on one of the TV's.

Am i asking too much to be able power Fibre broadband while also giving analogue channels to 2 other TV's?

Thanks
