I've got a LCD monitor which also comes with a build-in TV-Tuner (ATSC) and would like to connect my cable box (provided by my cable company) directly to it so I can sometimes watch TV when I'm not using my PC.
I'm also planning on getting a HDTV and hang that on my wall, but would also like to watch cable channels as well.
Since I've already have the cable box hooked up to my LCD monitor, is there a way to split it and share on both the HDTV and monitor?

If it's just using the standard coaxial cable, splitters such as this one are very easy to find. You could probably find one at any store that sells anything even remotely electronic related. _________________

Thanks for the reply, but I'll have to admit that I did do a research before creating this topic as to see what component I need to make this work and one them is the coax splitter. Also I prefer one with a bit more bandwidth like 2GHz.
Up next I'll need to get additional coax cables as the ones I already have are provided by my cable company. Don't know if the ones I get outside will work or do I need to get it directly from my cable provider.
If I do have to get it from my cable provider, I'm sure they're going to charge me extra every month on my cable bill.
