How do you split digital cable from 1 TV to 2?
Answers: With a reciever for digital cable, you will call for a second box for another TV.
With your setup, if you want another TV, you will only involve to split the cable again to go to the hot TV.
I suggest since you have a cable modem that instead of getting a 3-way splitter, you hold your current 2-way splitter, and then on the string that goes to the tv immediately, get another 2-way splitter.
Doing this will allow your cable modem signal to not catch cut down as much.
You will be able to shift channels on both TV's independantly and keep under surveillance different shows. This would not be true if you had a digital cable box. With that you would be fixed to whatever the box be tuned to.
You actually own a couple of choices here.
1) If you want both TVs to show a different channel at matching time, either get hold of a second 2-way splitter that has a -3.5dB loss outputs, and connect both TV sets to this splitter, or get hold of a 3-way splitter that has 1 -3.5dB loss and 2 -7dB loss outputs, making sure that you connect the cable modem to the -3.5dB port. Though you'll have need of a second digital cable box to receive any digital cable programming, the second TV set will be able to receive analog cable programming by itself.
2) If the TVs are contained by the same nonspecific area and you don't thinking if they show the same TV show at one and the same time, you can either run a coax or a long A/V cable to the second TV set, depending on how the first TV is connected.
Either mode that you go near this, make sure you're using excellent isolating splitters, high-quality F-connectors, and RG6 cable next to non-copper shielding for the cable line; otherwise you will hold signal ingress issues.
A Tri-Splitter will work fine in your shield. AND you get to survey ANYTHING you want on either TV set...except for Pay stations close to pay per view...and scrambled stations like the Digital channel....and Showtime which is also scrambled and requires a Cable box to descramble it....
You'll get a integral Three channels by the time you're done...(just kidding)
