Hi,

I have recently taken the decision to stop my Tivo service as we never watched it.

I have a splitter on the end of the coaxial cable but with a 6db forward path attenuator fitted before the splitter and I was going to remove the splitter and connect the cable directly to my Hub 3 but wondered if I need to keep the attenuator in line or remove it?

TIA

Hi,

Please could provide me some images of this then would able tell you if you can remove or not?

not sure why images are asked for - description is clear enough as is a more complete answer [i think]

removing the splitter will change the levels to any connected device - the hub i assume - as will removing the attenuator - so a great deal depends on what your levels to the hub are now

easy way is try it and see - downstream should be between -6/+10 and upstream under 51 [5.1 if its a hub3] same actual level - hub 3 has a reporting bug in that decimal point is in wrong place

if levels are in those ranges and speeds are ok then fine - if not add attenuator back and check again - if levels are still wrong then all bits are needed
