[CTS] Re: cable terminator (Russ)

They do, but would you like it if they said a tech will be there between 8a-9p? 
Have to stay home all day? I rather have a 3 hour block. And what is cool is if 
you work a normal job they have the 6p-9p for thoughs people.

Thank you,
Eric Vogel

  6pm to 9pm - does this cable company run part time? You would think they 
would be there between 8a and 6pm

    A tech is coming tonight because my Mom is complaining about channel 9 
(WDIV 4) being behind Channel 4 (QVC owned by Comcast) and 62 (WE (Womens 
Entertainment) being muted, and 19 distored looses sound complete sometimes. 
chaneel 19 is Home Shopping Club and switchs to Game Show Network here and 
there. Well guess someone is going to be Hooping and holering about my setup, 
so I have to tear down the new splitter and put the old one up. Nice she tells 
me late last night. They will be here from 6p-9p.

    Thanks to your help and also watching the specs, everything meets their 
requirments the only issue is "IF we do not install it, your SOL". The issues 
have been happening before hand. I am not going to pay these people per hour 
plus supplies for something I can do cheaper. 
    4 way splitter - $15
    50 Ft Fiber/Copper coax - $30
    Terminator - $2 (Shows the one I go to does have it. Now I know the exact 
look and now with the part # someone should be able to find it.)

    I see it helps with ghosting, which is what 4 is doing.

    Thank you,
    Eric Vogel

      Terminating resistor - they should have them as item 15-1156

      Any electronics store, Walmart's electroncis section where they have the 
cable and crimps, etc - it's a common item (really just a metal cap that shorts 
center to ground with a 50 ohm 1/8th watt resistor) BTW if it's not going to be 
messed with take an 1/8th watt 50 ohm resistor (radio shack probably has those) 
and stick one end in the female opening, then the other lead end to the 
threaded outer shell and tape it on.

        For the cable/internet in my house, what do I need to terminate a open 
plug on the splitter and where can I get it? Radio Shack does not have it in 
their stores.
