Legal TV Cable Connection
|
Bronze Member Username: Ei_toro_the_greatPost Number: 24 Registered: Feb-10 | If your Internet service is thru a cable company here is how to connect to receive cable TV using an A/B switch.  A) Connect the Internet incoming cable that is now connected to your Cable Modem to the center post of the A/B switch. B) From post "A" on the A/B switch connect to your Cable Modem. C) From post "B" on the A/B switch connect to your TV. Needless to say you can only use one at a time, but it's all legal if you are paying for boardband internet service  It works for me in four rooms in my home using this Amplifier (Note) for one or two TVs no Amplifier is required.  |

Platinum Member Username: LklivesPost Number: 15999 Registered: Jan-06 | Doesn't work fer me either...same reason, cable filters...and cable offers various packages, so which package would ya get doing this, if ya only subscribe to the internet?....just curious.. |
|
Bronze Member Username: James_millardPost Number: 65 Registered: Jan-10 | With the advent of Hi Def package technology MOST cable providers soon catched on to this good trick.... It used to work great when we were able to use it..... So enjoy, Whiskey,......you're a lucky guy. |

Bronze Member Username: Ei_toro_the_greatPost Number: 26 Registered: Feb-10 | Well Sir with my setup as I have posted above workes great for me. Don't know if a different package would make a difference, I can't see were it would, but who knows untill you try it. Btw LK why would you need this setup? only about (60) channels. You have posted here many times that you and your family friends do sharing?????  |

Silver Member Username: Sjain80Post Number: 204 Registered: Jun-06 | yeah this set up didn't work me neither..I tried it like 3 yrs ago..got it for almost 3 months and then my local cable companies started installing filters as well. |

Platinum Member Username: LklivesPost Number: 16000 Registered: Jan-06 | I own many 5 homes in a few states, not just one...a couple are in the mountains surrounded by trees and have no clear line of site, so I must use cable at those ..so I have/had Verizon Fios, Comcast cable, Time Warner cable, Charter cable, Dishnet sat, and Directv sat.... BTW...haven't seen Verizon Fios hacked ever, and been a few years since most cable companies have had a working "modified" hacked cable modem, but satellite has various options to use (like sub sharing)...also I rate Verizon Fios as the worse provider...and then Comcast or Directv as the best TV providers, based on costs, quality, and customer support.. hmmm....60 channels...sounds like "basic" package with no extra's... |

Bronze Member Username: Ei_toro_the_greatPost Number: 28 Registered: Feb-10 | Hey what can I say, my setup works for me when I am finish with my PC I switch over to my TV kick back ,pop a beer and watch TV Just a simple installation, no big deal, maybe my setup can work for same people and not for others depends on who is your provider.It works for me that is all I have to say . |

Platinum Member Username: LklivesPost Number: 16001 Registered: Jan-06 | Whiskey...yer thread here is a good one and just may work for some.....ya know the saying, "nothing ventured, nothing gained"..so if this works fer even just 1 person, then ya helped somebody...nobody is doubting what ya say...we're just simply saying with some cable providers, times have changed and this may not work....and great for those that do get this to work.. |

Bronze Member Username: Lion_cingPost Number: 34 Registered: Sep-06 | I dont get it why the AB switch. If you get the TV signal then just place a simple splitter!! and use both internet and Tv at the same time. |

Bronze Member Username: Ei_toro_the_greatPost Number: 29 Registered: Feb-10 | Bob Bakshi....a splitter will put both my PC and TV on the incoming service at the same time. An A/B switch will do only one at a time. I have already tried that, but kept going out after few days. I would guess both on the same line at the same time was too much gain lost.???? |

Platinum Member Username: PlymouthCanada Post Number: 12789 Registered: Jan-08 | mmm I'm in Area of Quebec city! I have a person very close to me which work for the service Cable company, that is why I will not play with the cable to put him in trouble! |

Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 18015 Registered: Jun-06 | In most major cities, the cable TV people use a filter which disallows TV on your cable unless you have paid for it. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Ei_toro_the_greatPost Number: 34 Registered: Feb-10 | For the people that live in the USA and have an Internet boardband service. A very quick and simple test. take a small tv and put it next to your Modem disconnect the incoming cable from the Modem and connect it to your TV even a caveman can do it. Different Countries Different Cities Different Providers Different Setups |

Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York Citay in-HD, NY Post Number: 4539 Registered: Oct-06 | Whiskey is totally wrong Firstly: if it works with an A/B it should work with a splitter Secondly: Cable company put a filter trap how on earth you can cancel a filter with an amplifier? How on earth a drop amplifier can possibly cancel band pass? Is this a new theory of electronics? The trap filter blocks modulated signal from 50Hz to 850Hz How can you cancel it? Explain You can amplify all you want How can you boost something totally blocked? |

Platinum Member Username: LklivesPost Number: 16015 Registered: Jan-06 | Whiskey said "disconnect the incoming cable from the Modem and connect it to your TV even a caveman can do it" desi NN said "how on earth am I going to connect a ethernet modem to my TV directly? " aaah...thats not what Whiskey said to do..ya have from yer outside cable box an incoming line (RG6 cable and RF connector) into your modem, not an ETHERNET incoming line...THEN U have an ethernet cable FROM MODEM TO PC for internet..and then ya also have an RG6 cable outline from modem to TV jacks..and also a phone line outgoing from modem to yer phone jacks...if ya have a typical 3 purpose (cableTV, internet, phone) modem KIng...Whiskey is just saying that this will work in some places where cable filters are not being used...wherever that may be in this day and age.. |

Platinum Member Username: PlymouthCanada Post Number: 12795 Registered: Jan-08 | Guys! I'm able to get 10-12 channels, but those channels are without interest! |

Bronze Member Username: James_millardPost Number: 69 Registered: Jan-10 | just a small side note.... Filtering techniques are being phased out. DIGITAL CABLE requires a set-top converter box. This converter can be programmed REMOTELY TO ALLOW OR DISALLOW ACCESS TO CHANNELS ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. The use of IPTV (i.e., delivery of television over an INTERNET or IP-based network) makes it even easier, since the provisioning of channels can be FULLY AUTOMATED. |

Gold Member Username: Saqeeb9000Post Number: 6787 Registered: Oct-07 | well in my case, i used to get free cable ( all channels) from cable ,for about an year until they figured it out, so i think they put some kind of filter,now basic channels only ... whiskey did u try splitter and see the difference? i was using splitter , i don't think it makes a difference if u use a/b switch or splitter |

Silver Member Username: InformerPost Number: 166 Registered: Mar-09 | I was thinking if you have a boardband Internet service and you are able to receive Video and Audio on your PC Monitor then why can't you remove your incoming Coaxial Cable from your Modem and connect it to your TV? SADA.......Whiskey is saying that he is only getting the Basic Channels everyone is making a big deal out of all this. Like Whiskey said if you have an Internet Boardband try it. Whiskey Bronze Member Username: Ei_toro_the_great Post Number: 29 Registered: Feb-10 Posted on Tuesday, February 16, 2010 - 09:00 am: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bob Bakshi....a splitter will put both my PC and TV on the incoming service at the same time.

Bronze Member Username: Fuglyb1tch_Post Number: 64 Registered: Dec-09 | seriously trying to figure out how this thread descended into an argument, no filter on the line this works fine take cable incoming and split 1 side to modem, other side out to as many tvs as you like, both internet and cable will work. No amplifiers etc needed. Even with a filter on the line you will probably get a limited amount of channels. I have friends who have been doing this for years. Another thing to try is if you have a tv with an HD tuner, connect the cable to tv, and run a scan for channels you might be surprised at what you find one of my friends got like 20 extra channels most are music, but there are a couple of HD channels as well. |

Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 18103 Registered: Jun-06 | RTAP: I just notices his post. It says: "Rtap: where your boyfriend ....Dantetn. Go ply with him." There is nothing illegal about have a same seex boyfriend or girlfriend. Of course, you can't have children. However, the reality of your being here is that you have either been kicked out as mod or your site is not doing well. Signs of the times. |
