1 edit |  [FL] COX HSI Only, NO Cable TV
I ordered cable internet only, with no cable TV service. From what I understand, the cable line will transmit all of the frequencies that serve the standard analog video/audio for cable TV unless a trap is installed.
If the company installs a trap, it would have to allow a frequency range to be open for the cable modem to operate. Where I currently have service, (Comcast), it operates at 597 Mhz. If COX operates at that frequency for it's cable modem CTMS systems, then would anything that operates above that frequency, (channels 87+ analog) be transmitted as well?
I've heard that even with the trap, people are able to receive the local broadcast stations in DTV format.
I'm not trying to steal service or anything, but I'm just curious about the science behind the technology and applying this theory to a real world application, because in theory, if the filter blocks the frequencies lower than the cable modem operation, it would suggest that the other frequencies would still be unfiltered.
Thanks,
