Currently my set up is:
Cable from outside to isolator in lounge: short cable to splitter. One branch goes to modem (and router etc) upstairs (50m), other branch goes straight to second splitter in lounge. From there, one branch goes to V+ Box in lounge, other branch goes to Tivo Box in kitchen (25m). All installed by Virgin engineers.
I want to move the boxes around a bit as follows:
V+ and Tivo boxes to stay where they are, modem and router to move next door to kitchen. Using same splitters, the wiring becomes:
From isolator direct to splitter in lounge (as now). One branch direct to V+ Box in lounge. Other branch 25m to splitter in kitchen. One branch goes straight to Tivo box in kitchen, other branch to modem in next room.
As things currently are therefore the modem gets half the signal, the V+ and Tivo a quarter each. As rearranged, the V+ will get half, the Tivo and the modem a quarter each.
Will the above work OK (assuming the splitters are identical)?
