When I sorted out the rats nest of wiring on our entertainment center the other year I found 2 cheap signal splitters installed. One was inside at the box area and the other was just behind the water control box outside where the cable / satellite hook ups are. I pulled both splitters and hooked up the cables as per the instructions on the entertainment switching box. I did lose the outside "cable" connector but since before I pulled the splitter neither the satellite or cable worked I consider it a victory. What was needed was a selector switch and a single outside connector but the factory didn't want to do it that way. I have since gone to an electrical supply store and gotten the selector switch for the coax cable and can switch now from inside satellite feed to outside feed with no loss of signal unlike the cheap splitters that were originally installed.
