IPTV and internet via same Ethernet cable

[Andrew_the_conqueror]

Hey,

I buy internet and TV from two different providers and I would like to have TV and internet access at the living room too. 

I have 1 Ethernet cable running in the walls, my question is can I combine the two signals and then split it apart at the living room without any equipment other than the two provider's box and an additional router at the living room and if no what else do I need? 

Thank you in advance for your help.

If you have two provider, you'll need two modems/boxes and two cables.

You cannot just split an ethernet cable between two different competing signal, it doesn't work that way.
IPTV is generally a box sitting under your TV that's connected to the modem of your provider, be it wirelessly or through ethernet. 

Since you have a different provider, you should also have a modem from the IPTV provider that link to the IPTV box, and another modem for the internet that's connected to your router.

All of which is insane because I don't know of a single legitimate IPTV provider that would let you have just the IPTV package without their own Internet strapped on top of it, exactly because it's delivered over the internet.

 

Unless your IPTV is that illegal, TV signal stealing stuff that cost like $20 for 3000+ channels, in which case you're not gonna get any help here.

I'm doing this, i just have a IPTV decoder and the tv plugged into a switch.

Works just fine.

it can but not the best idea spliting the pairs. you are limiting your speed to 100mbps per device. I do know some devices need all 4 pairs to connect to ethernet

Agreed.  Official IPTV services usually are sent across the ISPs internal network down a different VLAN to the Internet so it CAN'T be picked up unless you are physically connected to their network.
