I've tried searching through the forums to the best of my ability and have come to a dead-end.
Here's my situation... I recently rewired my whole house with RG6 quad shield coax- replacing the old deteriorating RG59 the builders had run 14 years ago. I also upgraded the 14 year old, corroding signal splitter located on the side of my house to a new 5MHz-2.4GHz signal splitter. The main reason for all of this-- lots of spare time, modernization/upgrading, and I upgraded from basic cable to Comcast digital HD.
As I was replacing the splitter I noticed that a high pass filter was installed on the main line going into the splitter. Comcast must have put it there 14 years ago when the cable was initially installed. I did not put the high pass filter back onto the splitter. I've had no noticeable issues with quality or interference since doing so.
Here's a picture of a similar HPF I found on the net: http://i47.tinypic.com/2mi42lg.jpg
My filter's identifying marks are "EZHP-50" which is High Pass, 50-1000MHz.
So, here's my question... Does the high pass filter need to be reinstalled?
Thanks.
And if you're wondering... no, I don't have cable internet.
