    Hello

    I have had a Super Usb box for a while now and been using it with this splitter thingamybob but last week due to a broken broadband connection and the Cable guy paying me a visit i had to remove the Starview box and put the original 3 way on

    Now for the life of me i' can't figure out how to set up the system again :-(

    I'm using one of these splitters <---- link to some web shop with a clear picture ofthe item I have

    To make it easy for me can you refer to the connections as 1 2 3 along the top of the picture and 4 5 on the bottom as they all have in or out etc in a confusing way ;-(

    I have a plastic cover on one connection ( 3 ) from the picture and i have 4 cables to find homes for one is the IN feed coming out of my wall .... there is the Broadband cable heading it's way to my Modem and 2 cables one to the original Virgin TV box and one to my Super Usb starview Thingy :)

    Please tell me the correct setup for these cables as it's driving me insane everything I do just doesn't seem right and it's given me a complete mental block ;-)

    Thanks in advance

    Finn

    Your main incoming feed plugs into the only IN rf socket, your modem connects to one of the out rf sockets, as the all have DC passthrough going by the pic. Your VM box and SV can go to two other out sockets and use a 75 Ohm terminator on the remaining out socket.

    Or use the plastic cover as you already have done previously, not ideal though.
