Hi.
Im thinking of adding an extra Virgin Media Cable Point to my bedroom so I can recieve channels through a Eurovox box. I currently have the Cable Modem in the computer room plugged into the OmniBox outside. Can I add an extra cable to the OmniBox as this would be alot easier than drilling another hole in the computer room and adding a splitter to the Cable Modem line :\ Is this what im saying possible or is it the splitter idea. If I do have to go for the splitter way. Is there any easy way of bringing an extra cable up to my bedroom? |

Could you put the splitter in the Omnibox? Can't really give any other advice without knowing the full layout.

I opened the the little black box outside my house (i'm not suppose to
) and I found that all it was.. was a thick black co-axial cable, which then attached to a white cable that went to my lounge. So I put a spliter on that black cable and got another white cable........Now I have two line feeds, one up stairs and one downstairs ![]() Last edited by Ciwan : 24-08-07 at 10:20 AM. |

Wow thats great then. When you opened the black/brown box. Was it a straight cable or was it two cables a fixed.

Mine was One Thick/black cable only, then that attached to a white one, that went into my lounge.
Yes mate it is very very easy, just get a splitter >> put black cable into Input >> get two other coaxial cables >> Supply one to your lounge, another to where ever you want. very easy ![]() |

if i were you, id not risk that, before cable goes into cable box downstairs, put a splitter on there, and run a cable upstairs to your other box

lol Thanks.
Well i went to go look at the Omnibox today and pulled the front panel off. Found a place where i can put a splitter as there are two cables with a screw connector. Whats the little white panel that goes on the wall inside the house? Hoping to make it look professional as possible. Cheers |
