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).


Amusing tale from the papers here last weekend; a woman comes home one
day to find her apartment robbed, TV, computer, VCR, game machine all
gone, doors all still locked. Next day she's in the bedroom, hears
something in the living room, goes out and finds the building
superintendent in the living room collecting the cables he forgot to
steal the day before.... Oops.
