Depending on your cable company, it may not be possible. If you are paying for cable tv service, then you should be able to use a splitter from radioshack or anywhere that sells them. Make sure you get a splitter that goes up to 1000mhz, or 1 ghz. The splitter has an in and at least 2 outs, maybe more depending on how many devices you want. Be aware that splitting cable signal cuts it in half and if you do not have enough signal for this, your internet may stop working. If you are not paying for tv service, most companies will put something called a hypass on the line. This allows only the frequencies that carry internet signal to pass through. If you do not have one of these installed on your line, than you should be able to get tv reception. Good luck!

∙ 10y agoCall your local Cable TV provider. Most Cable companies offer high speed Internet as well as Television service which can usually run on the same cable wiring in your house. You will need a cable modem from your cable TV provider, so its not just flipping a switch to turn on initially. If they need to run a new cable wire, be sure to go over costs before they drill or wall-fish this may not be a standard installation.
