Ethernet cable to connect TV signal

[TonyCrowe]

I want to install a Virgin 360 box & 2 mini boxes.

I have Virgin broadband & have Ethernet cables to each location where the boxes are to be installed.(3 in total). The furthest from the hub about 20Mts.

Am I able to pass the TV signal via these Ethernet cables to the boxes & keep the internet connection.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thank you

The TV signal requires a co-ax connection.

All Virgin Media set top boxes require both internet and co-ax connections.

It’s coax. Not co-ax.

I’ll stick with co-ax. Coax means something entirely different.

Is it possible to split the incoming cable 4 ways, without any loss of signal strength, to connect a HUB3, a 360box & 2 mini boxes.

Thank you

The installer will split the incoming cable to suit your installation requirement and ensure, perhaps with changes at the local cabinet, that your signal is well balanced.
