Separately when I had CenturyLink TV, there was a small box that plugged into the wall via the round Cable, called a BNC cable. The small box takes the cable signal, unscrambles it, often times has the Digital Video Recorder equipment, and sends video to the TV. The WiFI router also has a port to connect your computer directly, also an ethernet port. I don't have the small box for the TV anymore, but it might also have other ports, other ones than the video wires to the TV.
What I have is the yellow ethernet cable going from the modem directly to the CenturyLink Prism box. There's two other wires coming out of the wall to the modem. We want to move ONLY the prism box to the other side of the room and connect it to our new TV. The CenturyLink box only has three wires going in it . 1. power 2. HDMI cable and 3. the ethernet cable . I would need some one to run the ethernet cable up the existing wall from the modem ,across the ceiling and down the wall on the other side and attach it to the CentuyLink box.
