How many TV's can I get hooked up to digital cable??

Question

I'm wondering if I get digital cable installed on main TV in the living room of my house, can I rig it up to get the other TV's in the house on it instead of paying for something to be installed on each TV?

Most of the TV's in my house are all hooked up to one cable that we dragged all over the house.. So I was wondering if the main TV got the box w/ digital cable, would the rest of them get it too since they are from the same cable?

I hope someone can answer this for me, because the guy is coming on monday to hook it up and now I'm wondering how this is gonna work.. Thanks for reading, and hope I didn't confuse you all too much. :o)

Answer 1

Ask your provider.

Answer 2

If you ordered them, many channels can only be watched on a digital set top box, connected to a TV of course.  Although the cable line that plugs into the back of the box is the same as the one that goes to your TV for ordinary cable, the box is necessary to retrieve the channels that are traveling through the cable line and display them on your TV.  

I believe the box rental fee is around 5-10 per box per month.

Answer 3

as many as you want

Answer 4

Yes, you need a cable box on each TV. The cable box is what allows you to "operate" digital cable. In theory, you COULD split the cable out of the first cable box into like, 50 different tv's. however, they would all receive the same signal out of the box, aka you would have to watch the same thing on every tv. Additionally, the signal gets weaker with every split you make, so it would exponentially deteriorate after a while.

Therefore, you need a cable running to each TV from the Main Hub Splitter, and a cable box at each TV.

Answer 5

Call and ask the cable company.

Answer 6

yes you can, by installing some special devices,

Answer 7

every TV will need a box. Splitting it around will make the signal weaker, so you should try a booster on the main line.

if you have a HDTV on those split ends, the effects will be more visible.
