An alternate method
If you subscribe to a cable TV service in which basic channels are
unscrambled and premium channels require the use of a
converter/descrambler box, you may want to use a signal splitter and
an A/B switch box (available from the cable TV company or an
electronics supply store). Use the connections shown below. With the
switch in the "B" position you can directly tune any nonscrambled
channels on your TV. With the switch in the "A" position, tune your TV to
the output of the converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4)
and use the converter/descrambler box to tune scrambled channels.
