Go to where your cable comes in the house and start writing down everything
you see (esp. splitters and such). Draw a stick map in your favorite editor
and label all the components and wires to rooms, TVs, modems, etc

Cut-n-paste the map into your next post.

RG6 cable
|-----------------> Modem
Incoming cable |
---------------|<-- Signal Vision Inc. SV-4G digital 4-way splitter (5-1000Mhz)
| +7dB on each leg
|
|-----------------> TV1 (RG6)
|
|-----------------> TV2 (RG6)
|
|-----------------> (terminated at splitter)

etc, etc.

I can't access it to see because where the cables join is inside a grey
box in my garage which has a flimsy lock on it. What would happen if I
cut the lock? I would not be pirating anything since I am already
paying for the service, just moving things around. Any ideas where I
could get a similar lock (described in previous post)?

No idea. I'm on Comcast orig. then Adelphia and soon to be TW and
never had a box or lock.

I'm not sure what to think of this discussion because it bears no
correlation to my experience.

I have a condo in a 35-unit building. The cable company feeds all units
with basic TV service. Residents can choose to add premium channels
and/or cablemodem internet service.

In my unit I have wall jacks in two rooms where I can connect to the
cable. I can put the cablemodem on either one and it works fine. I can
put the television on either one and it works fine. I can put a splitter
on either one and simultaneously run the televison and the cablemodem --
and they both work fine. (Cablemodem service is rated at 5M down and
700K up. I routinely see an incoming datastream over 600B/s.)

cheers,

Henry

Oops. I mean, of course, over 600KB/s.

cheers,
