as per my other post on splitting a signal, I would give more back ground on this
On Monday I got a card thru letter box about some issue from my house with signal and someone needed to come and check the line.
The connection was as follows
- cable from outside to box on wall
- signal split 2 ways - one goes to broadband router the other to upstairs to my Edison OS Mini DVB-C box
engineer came over this morning and saw the guy who came in on Monday had put some blocker on the signal from upstairs
Obviously to keep my cable box a secret told the engineer I had nothing connected upstairs
so he took out splitter and joined the one cable to the cable modem router and left
He mentioned noise was being generated on my line which caused issues in the street, so what can cause this noise
dodgy cable
dodgy connections
The splitter that was in the box outside was provided by VM
I called VM up to ask about splitting cable inside, they qupted me 100 quid
hence my other post asking about best cable to use and best splitter to use to split the signal again
Don't want another RPBLOCK card in future so want to make sure anything I add doesn't cause any issues
