Default quick microfilter question



just preparing for when i get my line activated but need to know how many
splitters i need, so where i have a double adaptor do i need to plug the
doubler into the microfilter and then the sky/phone into the doubler without
splitters there or do i need to plug splitters into both sockets of the
doubler for the phone/sky?

thanks

Every device needs to go through a filter.

Having 1 filter and then a splitter with 2 devices in or
a splitter and then 2 filters is your choice.

i realise that every device needs to be filtered somehow but i'm not quite
clear how, with the one microfilter filter two devices on a doubler?

----phone
----microfilter----doubler
----sky

will that work or will i need to use two more splitters like below;

----microfilter----phone
----microfilter----doubler
----microfilter----sky


thanks

Either method will work

Yes, that will work - provided you can physically plug it together, without
any of the bits getting in the way

No, you don't need 2 filters in series, which this gives. If you like, you
can do away with the filter on the left and plug the doubler into the
socket - and then 2 filters into the doubler - but uses one more filter than
above, and doesn't actually gain anything

Nope, that will work just fine.

That will also work but will cost you three times as much as the first
set up.
