The Solution Rating System
|
|
| With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating. - The Grade of the Solution
- The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
- The Number of Author and Expert Comments
- The Number of Experts Contributing
- The Feedback of the Community
Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site. If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support. Thank you! |

Asked by hedgeselect in Televisions, Home Theater Wiring & Accessories, DSL Lines / Cable Internet
I want to move one of my Virgin Media/NTL white boxes on the living room wall which contails the old twin TV/FM filter. It will mean that I have to run a "F coupler" to join the point where the existing cable comes in and where I want to add a new 5m run of cable to another side wall and then connect the filter to the wall again and then run my two cables off that (one direct to the cable box and one for the broadband modem).
My question is:
1. If I was do it as described above, are there any disadvantages? Someone told me its best to run a fresh set of direct cable from brown the connection box on my outside wall coming into the house, but a satellite installation guy told me that because Cable TV is already highly powered, a connection break wont matter. BTW - the reason why I am doing it this way rather than running two 5m length cables off the original socket is that I want to plaster the existing "F coupler" and cable into the wall under my floor board to the new point on the other side wall.
So in summary, do Virgin Media cable get affected by an added connector? Also will this affect my broadband modem speed?
2. Unrelated to the above, but I moved one of my Virgin Media HD boxes from another room (which has its own independent Virgin Media point) to the living room, and there was such bad pixelation. How can it be fine upstairs but not downstairs? Do Cable/Virgin Media have the ability to power up or power down individual Points in the house from the outside brown box on my wall. I tried a 3db accentuator) but that didnt help at all.
Any suggestions?
