Connecting the TV signal source with a set-top box

To connect the computer into an existing setup for the TV signal source with a set-top box (cable or satellite), insert (add) a splitter (B) to route the coaxial TV signal cable from the set-top box (F) to the computer connector (C).

Connect the remote control cable/IR blaster (select models only) (G) to the IR OUT connector on the computer, and then position the blaster on the set-top box. This enables the computer to change the channel on the set-top box. See “Using an infrared receiver (IR) blaster” on page 12 for IR blaster placement details.
