• With digital TV, the concept of a channel becomes more complex in that a physical 6 MHz channel can contain multiple logical channels. Logical channels can go up to 1000 and beyond depending on many factors. Todays digital cable channels generally start at 100 or 200 and above but these are logical channels and do not correspond to the actual frequencies. • Cable TV providers can send digital signals unencrypted or encrypted. The QAM tuner can receive only unencrypted signals. For encrypted signals, a proprietary decoder box is required. Most TVs made before 2006 do not include a QAM tuner, and only have an analog cable tuner which cannot tune beyond channel 125. • TVs and recorders generally do not have tuners for satellite TV. A proprietary decoder/receiver box is required. Satellite TV uses higher frequencies (GHz), different modulation and encryption than broadcast or cable TV.  With the above diagram, you can view or record cable TV channels while viewing another at the same time. The only restriction is you cannot record or view two digital channels at the same time. The splitter allows any analog channels to VCR one where its internal analog tuner is used while the other splitter output is going to the cable box where any digital channel is decoded and sent out on VHF channel 3 to VCR two. Set the VCR to channel 3 to record. The A/B switch allows swapping to one program or the other, playing VCR while recording another show or record while viewing a second program. • Switchbox hookup to TV • How to hookup Plasma, LCD TV • How to hookup a DVD player • Cable Box, VCR, DVD, TV hookup • TV Cable Box Setup • HDTV HDMI hookup • Digital Cable TV hookup diagram
