❑Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles Some Channels

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.

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.)
