It works just like that, with one caveat. If you're trying to watch HD, and you have a lot of TV's in your home, you *may* need a signal booster for the house. I had this problem and it was easy to fix-it just drove me crazy for a while with stations that wouldn't hold their signal and HD that was constantly cutting out. If you need to go this way, be sure you get a booster that handles both the incoming and outgoing signals that Comcast uses. I have a Motorola unit-can't remember the model number. If you need to go this way, PM me and I'll get it for you.
Also, make sure the splitter you use is a good quality one.

Sometimes it would be nice to be able to watch TV in the corner of my monitor as I work. I do not have a TV tuner in my computer but it should be a trivial matter to install one.
Can I just split the cable at the wall jack then run one cable to my cable modem and the other to a TV tuner card? Or is it more complicated than that?
