Okay, I'm new here, hope you guys can help. Here's the scenario:
I have a dual tuner DirecTivo box.
I live in an apartment that won't let me drill holes in the outside walls.
The place has been pre-wired for cable. There are outlets in every room. Each outlet has 2 coax jacks. My manager doesnt know anything about it, so I'm stuck figuring this out on my own. But she did say she uses one jack for her cable, the other for her internet. I found the utility box where the cable company goes to wire the rooms. I found one unused cable with my room number on it. So, I can use that one cable for one tuner. If there is a 2nd jack for "internet", can I use that for the 2nd tuner?
Now, if I am unable to find a 2nd input, would it be possible to unify the signal from two cables to run into one wire, and then just split it again when it gets inside my apartment and plug them into the seperate tuners? My first guess is "No", but I tend to be wrong most of the time.
What are the possible solutions to this scenario?
Hope I made some sense. Thanks.
