Hi

I've got my Eurovox and I want to connect it to my TV via the cable feed I have from VM which is used for the Internet. I have a cable splitter and some F-Plug (connectors) and I have no idea what they are for and how to use them. Can anyone help or suggest something to me. I want to know how it will work or if I need some more cable wire.

Thanks

you will needto buy some coaxial cable from B&Q or such places, i cant remember what size core it is you need tho, its quite thick possible 1.5mm, i gather you are running the modem from the same feed as your eurovox?

You will need more Cable to extend to your Cable box. Basically disconnect the cable to your broadband put that in the IN on the splitter then you need 1 wire going out to the broadband and the other to your Cable Box Simple. Use the F Type connectors on the Wire on each end.

If You have a wilkinson near you you can get cable from there 25p a metre. Or get to B&Q or focus.

Hi

I've just been to Wilkinson's and I've seen three different types of cable wiring. There was a brown one, white one and a satellite one. I was going to buy the white coaxial cable but I thought I might as well be sure before getting it. Anyone know which one I should get and how thick it should be.
Thanks
