Re: Motorola Digital box
I haven't had time to call a tech but today I played around with the cables and found out that it's one of the splitters that is causing the problems. All my channels are coming in clear and without those "One Moment Please..." messages.
If you look at my other topic thread, it's the splitter on the left. I just can't watch my other TV until I get another splitter. I don't know if I should buy a 3-way and connect everything to one or just replace the 2-way?
EDIT: It's not the left splitter but the right. I took off the connector that comes from outside and found water in the splitter.  I don't know where this came from, unless it's condensation. I don't think it's coming from outside. The conductor was oxidized but I didn't think anything off it at first. So I cut off a few inches to see if it's oxidized further up. Its good and clean there. Installed a new compression connector and everything is good now. I'm going to disconnect the cable overnight and place a cup beneath the connector. I'll see if anything shows up in the morning.

Hamilton, ON | Don't get a three way. The two splitter setup is the proper way to do it. While the other way can bee seen as the same setup, it may cause issues with your upstream signal and is not the reccomended configuration |
