tuning adapter and new cable drop being run
So my living room tuning adapter didn't want to connect to my TiVo. We tried four tuning adapters then the Cox rep made a temporary drop from the outside tap into my living room and it immediately connected. They want to run a brand new line to my living room, which is quite a project. He mentioned to the person making the appointment it's not a normal 6 point drop and it's a 24 point drop. No clue what all that stuff means. Anyway should I let COX run the line or hire someone that might do a better job? I don't want lots of wires running all over my house. It needs run from the main box on the left side of my house all the way to the right side of my house. It's a two story so no attic access. I just don't want a crappy job. Your thoughts?

I am in the process of terminating my Cox cable TV but keeping Cox internet. I do not have a phone land line. The coax enters the house where it splits to the cable modem and to the TVs. I intend to disconnect the coax supporting the TV from the internet so there will be no cross feed or interference. I will return the cable boxes to Cox. My intent is to connect an OTA antenna directly to the coax cable and use the coax already throughout the house to feed OTA signals to those TVs. I have an in-line amplifier installed in this circuit to boost signal strength. My question is the coax cable used in Cox TV service compatible with OTA signal? ThanksSolved6.1KViews0likes5Comments
