COMCAST digital conversion installation

[The Insider]

I received the set top box, and both DTA's. What a thrill. Each TV required a unit and additional power. Two of the three tv's are digital capable, but still need the box. Tivo Series II apparently requires a splitter. Comc*** has the same cluttered installation as DSL installation attempted until I got the filter in the D-Mark. One unit at the entry of the residence with one power requirement would be outstanding. What brand splitter would you recommend. It appears I need two. One 3 way to replace the existing splitter I have, but supports digital, and one 2 way splitter referred to as (RF splitter) by Tivo documentation. Thanks in advance.

One unit at the entry would do no good unless you are ok with watching the same thing on every tv at the same time.

And you could not change the channels, unless you went close to the box every time you wanted to.

And yes, these are electronics, each one requires a power source. You seem completely baffled by this requirement. Get a power strip or two....

Well he could buy equipment that would allow him to change his channel. They have remote systems that work without IR.

I agree, get a power strip, make it a surge protector while you are at it.

As for splitters, I like ChannelPlus. google the name, you'll find them all over.

With satellite, you will be required to have a set top box at EACH TV.

No you don't. Maybe with DTV but not with Dish.
