(These items are available at most electronics stores.) 1 Find and disconnect the cable that is connected to the ANTENNA IN terminal on your cable box. • This terminal might be labeled "ANT IN," "VHF IN," or simply, "IN." 2 Connect this cable to a two-way splitter. Connect a coaxial cable between an OUTPUT terminal on the splitter and the IN terminal on the cable box. Incoming Cable Splitter 3 Connect a coaxial cable between the ANTENNA OUT terminal on the cable box and the B-IN terminal on the A/B switch. 4 Connect another cable between the other OUT terminal on the splitter and the A-IN terminal on the RF (A/B) switch. Cable Box RF (A/B) Switch 5 Connect the last coaxial cable between the OUT terminal on the RF (A/B) switch and the VHF/UHF terminal on the rear of the TV.
