It is hard to understand your question, but if you are referring to why you cannot get all the channels when you split the cable is becaue you have to have a cable box hooked directly to the TV in order to access all the channels. It is the cable companies way it racking in more money and it works. The cable box is used to decode the signals in order to get access to all the channels.

Guide to Cable Channels?

Years ago, cable was considered a luxury. Those that had cable had basic cable channels like ESPN, TNT, and TBS. Now, cable has changed dramatically. Cable television is all delivered digitally today. As a result, digital cable has hundreds of channels for people to choose from. Cable companies offer a variety of digital cable packages. These range from just your basic cable channels to packages that include all the premium channels, sports channels, and music channels. Here is a basic overview of all the cable channels available to you. Basic cable includes common channels you would see in most hotel rooms. These are ESPN, TBS, FX, USA and other similar channels. Basic cable usually includes movie channels like AMC or Turner Classic Movies. You also get access to 24 hour news networks like CNN and Fox News. The basic package is the most affordable. You get a wide selection of channels compared to what you used to get with analog cable, but there are still many cable channels you aren't getting. Many basic cable channels are available in high definition at no additional cost from your cable provider. More and more channels become available on a regular basis. Preferred cable adds a lot of channels to your package. Preferred cable usually includes the Encore networks, which show new and old movies completely unedited. There are other additional channels, including some basic sports channels like ESPN News. You also receive more unique channels, including Spanish language channels.

These channels show new and old movies as well as original content like shows, sporting events, and comedy specials. Each premium package offers several channels. For example, there are up to ten HBO channels available to you. In addition to premium channels, you also have sports packages that include NFL Network, MLB Network, and ESPN Classic. These channels offer the best in sports entertainment around the clock. Lastly, you get the music channels. These work like a radio in which you can choose a genre and listen to music nonstop.
