I see people have answered this in different ways. I have Adelphia up here in N.H., so it may be a little different than comcast. But in answer to your ?, yes you can split your cable feed to the computer. One for the computer and one for the TV. The one I use is a Antronix model CMC2002H, with an out put of 3.5 db from each side. You will also need at least piece of digital cable or satellite cable wire, this would go to the cable modem. and of course a wire for the TV. The one thing you have to remember is the more splitters you use the more signal you will lose. That's the best I can do, with out being there to do it. Connie I don't know why TWC says it cannot be done, Except for the service fees.
