Is there anyway that I can watch TV without using a coaxial cable?
I have a TV in the kitchen, but it does not have a cable wall outlet near it at all.. Is there anything I can get or buy for my TV to at least get basic channels without the coax?
Buy a simple PreAmp’d aerial from your local supermarket, plug it in and bob is quite literally your mothers brother.
Option two – get a sparkie in to fit the cable; its a 5 min job as you already have an aerial.
Options three – go to the pub and watch it there (joke)
Coax-Multi-Tool vs. Standard Coaxial Cable installation.
Shows intermittent cable modem Internet LED is disconnected. After remove and replace the coaxial cable signal splitter cable, the signal is reset and the modem back online. What causes this problem and how can be avoided when using a cable signal splitter? Thanks in advance for your help.
A little more information will help a fair bit. The first question presented would be the type of separator is? 2 way, 3 way, etc. And what is the power splitter 5-500 MHz, 5-1 GHz so it sounds the information they have provided so far is that it seems like you have maybe one of two problems, maybe both. You may have a bad splitter (If you pay less than $ 10 for a separator that will not work as well or last) Make sure all splitters are at least 1 Ghz. If a separator is provided by your cable company, contact them so they can replace you. If replacing the separator does not solve the problem for you, more than likely have a weak signal coming the modem. It may not be able to determine for yourself. Some modems allow you to go to; 192.168.100.1 to see the signal strength on the modem. You must have a transmission of about> 40 dBmV or <50 dBmV and dBmV receiving <10 and>-10dBmV. However, this tends to vary from provider to provider so it is not insured in case of doubt, I would recommend calling your provider and with them a book called problem for you. You can check the signal and modem functions much easier, then be able to do yourself. Hope this helps Matt
When crimping connectors onto coaxial cable, do you include the foil wrap?
The coax I have has minimal braided wire, but a foil like wrap under the braid and over the insulation. The amount of braided wire almost seems too minimal for a good connection. Should I include the foil in the crimp, or cut it off with the outer sheath?
You cut the foil away from the crimp. The few strands of wire in the crimp will connect the foil to the ground connection of the crimp. You also want to trim that foil back from the center conductor plastic carrier to avoid any possibility of shorting out the center conductor.
While you’re at it make sure you have 75 ohm coax not 50 ohm. They look exactly the same but will give you an impedance mismatch on a TV. You want RG59 cable not RG58 or RG62.
If you go from the satellite to the receiver with coaxial cable …?
If you go from the satellite to the receiver with coaxial cable, component video television (not coaxial): It seems you can not get better quality output than input.
The signal enters the picture through coaxial cable, but the box video converter has been built on it, which transmits the signal at the outputs of different resolution. If you have an HD box for satellite, and HDTV, you need to connect via an HDMI or component video, due to their ability to solve more other connections. If your TV has HDMI or component, S-Video is the next step down, followed compounds, then the coaxial cable. Hope this helped, I get much more elaborate, but wanted to keep base.
