bohoki Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 oh i get it the capacitor blocks the dc current from going to your tv and the coil keeps the rf signal out of your house wiring how many wraps on the bolt? i mean i figure you need enough to block the radio waves but not so many as you make a giant electro magnet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prodos8 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Be sure to use an all metal box, not plastic. My 5200 is the 2-port so I've never needed one of these. If I had the 4-port I'd probably just do the power mod and and A/V mod to skip this box anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no electrical skills even simple for you guys is not for me. If somebody made a video it would help a lot. Anyhow got a box off ebay for 20 dollars so I'm good. But it says not working and amazon is double the price. But it shouldn't be too hard to fix right? http://www.digitpress.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-12413.html Just found that but have no idea if its good info. Anyhow what would one of you guys charge to fix my box if I send it to one of you? Loos good shape so if it is jsut a fuse or something how much? Thansk.
