Product Information

Once you’ve bought the appropriate splitter, you’ll need to locate the main coaxial cable – the one whose signal you’ll be splitting. Yes, you must keep the coax cable away from electrical cables to avoid interference with the signal. Despite the coax cable being shielded to prevent corruption of the signal, it’s still possible if electric cables are laid next to the coax. But what if you want to hook up your antenna to a second TV in another room? Then you can split the coaxial cable running from your antenna into two cables, one feeding each television. However, this seems like a great service, and it is. The cables are likely to be clipped to skirting boards, and even if the colour is close, they can still be unsightly. Does Virgin multiroom need cables?

The splitter has cable running out of it to the 3 seperate rooms. I am struggling to establish which cable should become the input for the splitter and from where it should connect. You may be able to find cheaper retailers, but beware of imitators. A lot of the cheaper stuff isn't as advertised and may not be WF100. Make sure each connection is tight and keep in mind that splitter connections aren’t generally weatherproof, so you may want to take measures if the splitter is installed outdoors. Use the Appropriate Splitter Autumn Statement: State pension confirmed to rise by 8.5% from April 2024 – while some benefits will go up by 6.7% Yeah, but I'd already explained that poor quality cable shouldn't be used and mentioned the type of cable that would be suitable. You appeared to be suggesting that something untoward would happen if using this cable as opposed to Virgin's.

Main line in to the building in to the isolator, short coax in to the splitter, two coax lines out labelled "modem" and "TV1" which disappear out of the bottom of the box under the floor...

If you don’t have a wired connection in a different room, you are forced to watch catch up streaming services like Iplayer. What are the pros and cons of Virgin Media broadband? Pros No, it’s part of the terms and conditions that you need a Virgin Media technician to move Virgin Media equipment.Virgin Media fibre is a good service when compared to the competition. The internet connection speeds can be blisteringly fast without any lag. Because the fibre home phone service is provided over our broadband network, your phone will need to be plugged directly into the Hub. That means it’ll need electricity to work, unlike the analogue phone line. Your SuperHub and internet provision has nothing to do with the provision of cable TV and the TiVo. The second TiVo box will be installed by Virgin media in the location you decide upon. SSL Coax. SSL coax is extremely versatile and can be used in several applications. If you want to extend the cable from your Virgin Media hub, you will find that SSL coax will do the perfect job. Attach both the input cable and the output cables into the splitter, which is straightforward to do using the cables’ threaded F connectors.

I've actually got some of the actual F connectors Virgin use, but these are no longer available. Any quality F connector will suffice though. Virgin don't have them magically made expecially for them and they aren't rubbing them with the same snake oil you seem to think they use on their cables When you obtain new coaxial cable, you may consider getting modern RG 6, which has more shielding and insulation from interference than RG 59. Step 2: Find the Main Coaxial Cable

Ensure as well that the impedance of the splitter matches what you’re connecting it to. For example, televisions and the like are 75-ohm devices, so your splitter should be rated for this impedance. Does a Coaxial Cable Splitter Cause Signal Loss? Plug the other ends of the output cables into your devices. Some devices may not possess coaxial inputs but instead only use HDMI and USB, which you may need to convert as appropriate. Step 4: Turn on the TV or Device
