If you subscribe to a cable television service in which basic channels are unscrambled and premium channels require the use of a converter/ descrambler box, you may wish to use a signal splitter and an A/B switch box (available from the cable television company or an electronics supply store). Follow the connections shown above.

With the switch in the B position, you can directly tune any nonscrambled channels on your television. With the switch in the A position, tune your television to the output of the converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the converter/descrambler box to tune scrambled channels.
