Go get a 1gz splitter. The cable company should give you one tho.


He'll also need two new, assumably short, lengths of cable to go from the
splitter to each device. Let's at least save him that second trip to the
electronics store, cursing us for not giving complete information (no, it's
not obvious, if you've never done it before).


Maybe I'm too used to connecting those things to see it as
non-obvious, but you can look at the splitter (while it's still in the
package for most) and see that it needs cables on all connectors.
