I already had internet through Charter. I was at work during the instal, and had my girlfriend here to sign off on it. When I got home to check it out, I noticed that the tech took out the old wall plate, and now there's a dual female coax plate. The bottom one runs to the input of a three way splitter. The 3.5dB output runs to the cable modem. The middle (7 dB) runs to the tv. The last output (also 7 dB) runs to the top female of the wall plate. I'm wondering, why is that? At my old apartment, a simple 2 way splitter worked fine. What's the reasoning for the extra equipment? Why would the bottom of the wall plate need a connection to go through the splitter and back to the wall place? Seems like an unnecessary loop.
Also, I was wondering why some of the expanded basic channels somewhat show up. The picture and sound are full of static, but it's almost like they could come in with some tweaking. Anyone know if that's possible? I'm obviously getting part of the signal for them, so I'd like to know if I can clean it up.
I hope I've described this clear enough.
