[CTS] Re: cable terminator (Russ)

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.
