You can buy a cable splitter from walmart and run one cable to your tv, and another cable to your cable modem. Easy as Pie...

if you still have old style analog cable you may be able to use a splitter but if it is all digital then it is not possible without another set top box

If OP is just asking how to run a TV and a PC, that just requires a splitter.

If you are wanting to run multiple TV's then yes you may need more Set top Boxes ( I only lose 2 channels without a set top box on my digital tv service )

i was assuming the OP was trying to use a TV card in the computer so she could watch or record programs on her PC.

i wouldn't think it would be a good idea to split a cable line that is supposed to be dedicated just for the modem as that could degrade performable and/or cause all kinds of connectivity problems

Hi Fungi, well I guess that is easy as pie... can you tell me what kind of cable splitter to get? I read the other response and you are correct.... I only want to hook up to one tv.

Thanks for your help.
