Default What do these numbers on a cable splitter really mean?

You have to be sure it is a 1ghz splitter and not a 900 mhz for the internet
portion of it. Digital TV does better through the gigahertz splitter also.
They're kind of hard to find except through the cable co. But not
impossible. Try radio shack.


My cable modem is a Motorola SB5120, which can provide information
about the connection. According to its status page, the downstream
(receive) channel is on 117MHz (channel 99) and the upstream channel
is on 35MHz (T-12?, below channel 2).
