Re: RF Modulator and Cable Modem

I can confirm that the 4 behind a 2 does not work. I tried this before and
my CM would not work. I guess my solution is going to be an amplified
system. I have 2 primary concerns. 1) The cam signal stays in the house 2)
CM keeps working. Any recommendations on products or configuration.
