Hello,
My house is currently wired through Numéricable, and I receive free TNT without a subscription via this cable that supplies several rooms.
I am considering getting high-speed fiber that will go through the Numéricable cable.
I do not wish to take the TV option because that limits the TV to a single set via a decoder.
With such a subscription, is it possible to keep the TNT TV through the same coaxial cable by connecting a branch through a "T" connector, or will the TNT signal be mixed with the internet and will it necessarily require a box to decode everything?

Hello,
No stress, control.
Unlike ADSL where the incoming flow is only the requested flow, in cable, all flows circulate at the same time from all subscribers connected to the same CMTS (equivalent to the ADSL splitter, but in cable version). Differentiation occurs at the level of the box.
So in a cable system, all channels circulate simultaneously, as well as the internet flow and the flow dedicated to telephone, whether you are a subscriber or not!
The difference is made by the MAC address of the device, by the box then.
If you are a subscriber and have a box, the box will send its MAC address upon connection and then it will identify itself on the NC network.
If it is not a box, no MAC address will be sent, only the clear TV signal can be received and captured (the TNT channels).
So even if you subscribe with NC, you put a splitter with 1 input, multiple outputs, one towards the box and the other towards the TVs, it will work (be careful, as the signal power decreases depending on the number of outputs of the splitter; the internet speed does not decrease, either the power is sufficient and you have maximum speed, or the power is insufficient and you have no connection at all) :-)
That’s why a cable subscription is functional a few hours after requesting the subscription in-store.

Thank you for your clear response. I pay for the "TV" option but only use 2 TVs with commercial TNT decoders, so I should be able to cancel my "TV" option.
