  • 1-GHz or 2-GHz ?

    I am going to be installing some coax cable, splitters, and possibly a signal amp in my house for cable TV. I started to do a little research about what is available and am confused about a basic requirement:

    For the splitters and the signal amp - Do I need these to pass frequencies up to 2-GHz or is 1-GHz enough?

    I believe that channel # 100 on my cable service (Comcast) is 651 MHz and that each channel is separated by 6 MHz. So then, channel # 254, the highest channel I will receive, should be 1.6 GHz. The highest possible channel available is like # 780 which would be approx. 4.7 GHz.

    Do I understand this correctly, or is it more complicated than that?

    Any other advice or recommendations about what equipment to buy would also be appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Larry

    I'm not exactly sure how the cable signal works, but based on the way DirecTV works, and the diplexing of other signals, I'd highly recommend getting the splitters that pass up to 2 GHz signals.
