I have done exactly this. I had a splitter for the line going to 2 TV's.
When I got cable internet, they split the line again, and ran a line to the
computer. I then split that line to both the cable modem and my ATI all In
wonder tuner. No signal loss or picture quality problems. Apparently, I
must have a very good signal.
