It's still probably a bad idea and they wouldn't want you doing it and if you're a person of color and your neighbor is a Karen she'll call the cops on you and it won't end well. In this case you're legit trying to establish paid service and save them a truck roll. This is what you'd do in the old days if you wanted to "steal cable". First, find the Ethernet cable in your self-install kit and connect one end to the modem and.
Is your cable line an aerial drop from a utility pole, or is it a buried cable from a pedestal or underground box on the street? Sometimes the pedestal is left unlocked and you can open it, find the line to your house, and reconnect it to their splitter/tap (or remove the filter that's blocking you). The process of self-installation is quite simple and straightforward. We just got spectrum internet installed but theres no 2.

Even if you don't have a TV with a QAM tuner, an analog tuner might work as sometimes there are still analog channels on cable, like if your city hall's community access cable channel hasn't gone digital. I’m wondering if there are any other troubleshooting steps that I can take first, because if possible, I’d really like to avoid having someone need to be in my house, and also the additional cost that will be incurred over the self-install option.ĭOCSIS channels are interspersed with TV channels, so hooking up a "digital cable ready" TV (one with a QAM tuner) to the coax may give you a useful data point.

The representative told me that I am not getting any signal at all, and the only thing that can be done is to have a technician dispatched to do the install themselves. The only lights that will light up on the device are the Power, US/DS, 2.4G and 5G lights – the Online light does not light up at all. I did this, and left it connected for a long time (hours.) I then tried powering the unit up and down a few times. The Online light never lit up, so I called and spoke with a representative who directed me to connect the unit to the cable line right where it comes into the house, before being split. Last night I setup the modem-router following the guides.
The cable line in the house remained untouched, and unused for 3 years, but there shouldn't be any structural issues with it, unless they've occurred outside the house from environmental effects. My house has not had Spectrum service, but the previous owner (moved in 3 years ago) did have a cable television from Time Warner Cable, that we then discontinued - they did not use TWC for internet though, they had DSL, and we maintained that Internet service, and just didn't have TV. Hello, I just initiated service with Spectrum, and chose the self-install option.
