i have roadrunner and timewarner cable, the cable guy said the cable for the comp. was no the same one as for the tv. so i couldnt use my comp upstairs with the tv with a splitter. they would have to put in another line upstairs for the comp. i also have wireless, but my comp is too old for it. so i have my comp hooked up with a line from wireless box to comp. looks like a telephone line. connie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Drumwoulf" <drum2424wlf@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, March 28, 2005 12:44 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Cable operations..? I have a question as to how cable (Comcast) operates.. We pay Comcast for both basic TV and internet services to come into our house. However the TV is downstairs on one cable line, and the PC is upstairs on another. The TV service is payed for by my wife and I pay for the internet, but we do get a 'same household' discount for the internet service. Question: Are these then totally seperate, dedicated lines? Or would both services come in on each cable line, being differentiated only by the type of receiver? In other words, could I add a regular TV to the upstairs computer line via a split T cable connector, and/or might I also then add a PC to the downstairs TV service the same way?
