Prior to this, I had thought I had to run a second cable throughout the house to get both my four modulator channels and the cable TV in all rooms; either the cable interfered with the modulator channels, or vice versa, or both. The highest channel on the incoming cable is 89. I inserted the four modulator channels two channels apart starting with 100 (that is, 100, 103, 106, and 109). The way to use this item is to filter before the cable goes into the modulator; just screw this filter onto the cable TV input to the modulator, connect the incoming cable TV to it, set your channels above 99, and put your house cable system directly on the modulator output. Everything looks great. Picture and sound are clean (including ProLogic) on all the cable channels, and clean on the four modulator channels. If that's what you're trying to do, this little item can save you a lot of money, a lot of hassle, or both.

I use this filter on Time Warner cable service for security channels (private residence) and it works great! No problems yet, even with digital phone and internet service.

I have a camera system and I use a modulator to output to channel 102, 104, 106. I started losing the channels. I ordered another modulator but this did not fix the problem. I thought I would give the filter a shot. It worked like a charm. It appears Mediacom is now transmitting data on the upper channels, before they were suitable for my use. This product was easy to install and effective. It did interfere with my HD DVR box so I just attached that run before I used the filter. No problem.

I had previously purchased a digital UHF channel modulator to send a video feed from a camera pointed at the drive to all of the TVs in the house on channel 88 (arbitrary channel choice). The idea was to be able to flip to channel 88 easily to see the driveway when I am expecting someone.

The output, though, was horrible, so I ordered one of these filters, added it in, and now the video feed on channel 88 and all the lower cable channels work just fine. We do not have digital cable, just analog that stops at channel 78, so I am not sure how this would work with digital cable.

I bought something similar to this NOT THIS ITEM with a cable modem in 2007. I have no idea what's it is suppossed to do.
