I'm glad it's been helpful but to give proper credit: I got the idea from here: http://perrybessas.com/vf-archives/pdf/ who got the idea from Alex Wetmore. Gotta love the internet :) and - I'm glad it works well for you, it is nice to be able to do them. I'm almost a little surprised that riv doesn't sell the cable splitters themselves. -sv -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
