Okay,
 
I need a simple question answered, that is currently driving me around the bend.
 
I have ntl digital entering the house.
It splits the tv feed to the digibox and the cable modem.
 
The digibox does NOT pass thru the old analogue channels.
 
The old box did, but it died and they replaced it with another one when swmbo was here...
 
So, as I had to replace some cables anyhow, (cause swmbo's pet rabbit chewed them up pretty good)
I picked up an extra f-type spitter to use on the tv side of the original split.
One output from this splitter goes to the ntl box, the other ends in normal rf type connector.
 
All outputs are fine.
 
The problem comes when attempting to merge the 2 rf signals together. That is, the 'pure' feed and the rf output from the digibox.
 
That joined signal goes into the video and then >from
 
It seems to me that whenever the two signals are merged, the picture quality dives. Its one of those y shaped ones.
 
Is there any way to merge to rf cables without having a bad picture?
 
TIA
 
Jason
