Title: Questions about Cablenet
Post by: pconstants on June 09 2009 10:30am
hi, i'm really interested in getting cablenet, just have a couple of questions for those of you who already have it:

-how does the television receive the cable channels? does the "cable" (coaxial) connect directly into the television? / does it connect into a set-top-box before connecting into the television? / does it connect into a little decoder device and then into the television using an RF (antenna) cable?

-does anyone have any experience using a "slingbox" device with the cablenet setup to watch the tv channels on a computer through the network?

thanks

 a coaxial cable is placed in your house which ends up to the single input side of one of these called splitter : http://www.summitsource.com/images/products/SP2532.jpg
This adapter is installed as a socket on your wall.

The other side has two outputs one for your modem and one for your tv where coaxial cables are also used.

The modem is of Aris brand

I used cablenet for a short while (3 months) and had no issues apart from a few at the beginning due to it being a new installation into the building.

Speeds were fast and it seemed unshared. I always got my max up and download speed on torretns ect.
