Splier
(oponal)
Provides an extra cable connecon by spling a single outlet into two. You
may need a splier if you have a TV already connected to the cable outlet
that you want to use. You can buy a splier from any electronics retailer
and most discount stores; you may also need a short piece of coax cable
(with connectors); use it to connect the splier to the cable outlet and then
connect the Data Gateway and TV to the splier.
Note: Using several spliers in a line may deteriorate the quality of
your internet connecon.
