[access-uk] more cable?

hi guys, 
I've now got my Telewest cable connection Installed. 
If you can mind, I was asking some time ago on list, if it was possible to 
split the cable connection. 
By this I mean. Could I use the cable tv connection for another television in 
my home, without renting another set top box?. 

I had asked the Installation engineer if he would connect the cable to my 
portable tv in my room, but he said you could not split the connection, as it 
would weaken the tv signal. 
So I came back. 
What if I in the future decide I wanted a second set top box, would have to run 
through another cable. 
He looked thoughtful for a moment, and then said, no we would the broadband 
cable connection in the bedroom, and split it with the computer and the 
portable television set in the room. 
I'm now totally confused.
Billy
