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).


Lets not forget that these cables need to be high quality RG-6 or better,
not the crappy 30% shielded RG-59 junk with push-on connectors that you get in
the box with your VCR, which should be thrown in the junk pile..

RG6 or RG59 makes little difference for shorter cables. Push-on
connectors are leakier and less physically secure. I always use screw
connectors except for short tests. Same for crimped cable ends (with a
good crimper).
