My question is this: is it possible to take what is currently the output from the TV point and split it two ways allowing me to run both the TV and broadband from the same socket? If so, can I just pick up a splitter from Maplins?

Thanks in advance.
Yes it is, I had a second stb in the bedroom and when I added BB to my package they gave me the choice of an engineer at £30, or do it yourself for free. They sent a modem with the wires in the post, you just attach the splitter to the original cable, add on the supplied white cable for the stb, then attach another white cable supplied, to splitter, then attach this cable to modem, then attach supplied ethernet cable to modem and PC, if I can do it anyone can, very easy.


PS By the way, welcome to CF corns.
