1.Find and disconnect the cable that is connected to the ANT IN terminal on your cable box.

N This terminal might be labeled “ANT IN”, “VHF IN” or simply, “IN”.

2.Connect this cable to a two-way splitter.

3.Connect an Antenna cable between the OUTPUT terminal on the splitter and the IN terminal on the cable box.

4.Connect an Antenna cable between the ANT OUT terminal on the cable box and the B–IN terminal on the RF(A/B) switch.

After you have made this connection, set the A/B switch to the “A” position for normal viewing. Set the A/B switch to the “B” position to view scrambled channels. (When you set the A/B switch to “B”, you will need to tune your TV to the cable box’s output channel, which is usually channel 3 or 4.)
