Some cable companies offer "premium pay" channels in which the signal is scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is generally provided by the cable company. The illustrations below show how to connect these types of converter/descrambler devices with the TV's VHF antenna jack. You may need a two-set signal splitter (sometime called a "two-set coupler) and an A/B switch box from the cable installer or an electronic supply store.
