you can split the cable alright, but you will only get analogue, unless ya have another box from upc to connect to it

An F-Splitter should do the trick perfectly. You will obviously need two extra cables and, if you are going for Analogue, you would also need an F connector to coaxial. All available in maplin for a few quid.

are there different type of F type splitters or do the maplins staff generally knoww aht they are selling rather than I annoying you good people

Just tell maplins you want a F splitter for cable tv.

But yes it will reduce the signal, but its digital so either it will work fine or you get nothing, depends on how good your original signal is, im guessing its already split between the tv and modem, so your going to split it twice that means the modem/tv only getting 1/4 of signal.

Thats one benefit of having UPC install it, if your signal isnt strong enough to split they can boost it from outside.
