broadband / TV / satellite

jono71 · 01-21-2009, 07:05 AM

I'm getting Virgin cable broadband installed this week (fibre-optic in street, co-ax above ground). I have previously intalled co-ax and phone cable in my walls when doing some DIY, with MK Triplexer / Phone faceplates,

(http://www.screwfix.com/prods/21580/...er-Phone-Slave)

one of which is now connected to free-to-air terrestrial TV.

I was expecting to use one of the other cables for my broadband, but now understand I may be able to have two signals coming in to one co-ax cable ie TV + Broadband.

Will I be able to connect the virgin signal via the SAT connection (F plug) on the faceplate?

I'm not familiar with that specific product, you need a separate coax cable for your Virgin cable signal. I think that unit is just splitting the frequencies on a single cable from the looks of it.
