Using Internet Coaxial Connection as Tuner Antenna


Hi!
Way back when I was a sophmore at Heidelberg College in Tiffin Ohio (1984-1985), I plugged my radio antenna into the cable coaxial protruding from the wall and was instantly able to pick up Detroit Wheels and stations from Windsor Canada. Mind you, these stations were at least 100 miles or so away and I did this with a radio and not a receiver or a tuner. I now have a Magnum Dynalab tuner and a PS Audio Power Station and have been cogitating over whether or not I should place a splitter on the power station and then run 1 coaxial to my internet modem and 1 coaxial to my antenna input on the tuner? Right now I'm using the Magnum Dynalab ST-2 antenna inside the 2nd floor apartment window. Come on, there have to be others who have done this.
Thanks,
Goofyfoot

If you want a splitter, Goodwill will have them for $1 or thereabouts. If it doesn't work, donate it back for good karma. Good luck!
