Thanks Bruce
The incoming fiber is on the west side of the house, when Cox installed it, he didn't want to bring it into my office on the east side of the house, where I had my computer, so I added an extender to help.
The TV in question is in the office, where I previously had the coax outlet into a modem/router(gone) and my TV(before digital) (this is where the splitter and AC adaptor is located. I also have a telephone modem in a north room, only connected to a coax.
from your explanation, it seems that the adaptor has nothing to do with the mini box, just coincidence that is is the same plug as the Mini Box.
is there some way I can get rid of the need for the adaptor?
I didn't pay attention to the install (should have)
If I have to have Cox out, do they charge? It want bad all on it's own.
this is where the splitter and AC adaptor is located
So you have the AC adapter plugged into an AC outlet...the AC adapter is connected to a short segment of coaxial cable...the short coax is then connected to a splitter. Right?
One output of the splitter should read "To TV" and the other outlet perhaps "To Amp." The "To TV" outlet should be connected to the Mini Box.
If every other device in your home is working fine, I'd suspect the "To TV" outlet on this splitter connected to the Mini Box has become faulty.
If you disconnected this AC adapter and the other 3 other set-top boxes lost signals, I'd suspect there is an amplifier somewhere in your house because I couldn't imagine 2 other splitters daisy-chained off this "To Amp" outlet of the splitter near the Mini Box.
Where does the coax connected to this "To Amp" outlet go? Follow it.
Thanks Bruce
I'm at work now, I'll check tonight & see if I am connected correctly
(Honestly tho, I can't imagine where an amp might be)
