You can put a 2 way splitter. I would advise against it, a home is always the best practice. If you do decide to put a splitter, I would recommend that it be put in the box. It may have to be changed and would be wiser not to have to cut into the wall. One again I would recommend a home run to each box. No limitations.

Do you want to still be able to use that trusty ol' VCR to be able to record your TV shows but can't seem to do so now that you have gotten a Cable Box? Well here are some simple tips on how to connect all the components and not compromise the quality of the incoming signal of the cable signal feed.
First here are the cables you will need. 3 sections of Coax cable (preferably RG-6 quality)
Now here is how you will need to hook up the cables properly. 1) Connect one Coax cable to the incoming cable signal feed. Usually a screw on connector on the wall or line coming up through the floor. Now connect the other end of this cable to the "Cable in" or "Input" located on the Cable box.
2) Now, connect one end of another Coax Cable to the "TO TV" or "OUTPUT" on the back of the Cable Box. Now connect the other end of this cable to the "CABLE/ANT IN" or "INPUT" connection on the back of the VCR.
3) Now, connect the last coax line from the "TO TV" or "OUTPUT" on the back of the VCR. Now connect the other end of this cable to the "Cable IN" on the back of the TV.
***** ALTERNATIVE OPTION FOR THIS FINAL CONNECTION******
Using the RCA cable connect to the "VIDEO OUT" RCA connections on the back of the VCR and connect the other end of this cable to the "VIDEO IN" on the back of the TV.
Now this is how you will need to set your VCR and Cable box to make your recording.
1) Tune your VCR to Channel 3 or set your timer to record Channel 3. (The actual channel you are going to be recording is controlled by the Cable Box)
2) Tune your cable box to the channel you wish to record. *** Note: Some cable boxes have an auto tune feature that will tune your cable box to a channel while you gone. Contact your cable provider to see if this is available on the model that you have***
B2470
Cellular Phone Antenna Circuit Malfunction
VCIM
DTC B2470
DTC B2470 04: Cellular Phone Antenna Circuit Malfunction Open Circuit
The cellular antenna is connected to the communication interface module (CIM) with a RG-58 coax cable. The CIM polls the data from the cellular antenna once every second.
Circuit/System Testing
Ignition OFF, disconnect the cellular antenna coax from the CIM module and the cellular antenna.
Ignition ON, test for less than 1 volt between the antenna coax center terminal and ground.
? If greater than the specified range, replace the antenna coax.
Ignition ON, test for less than 1 volt between the antenna coax outer shield and ground.
? If greater than the specified range, replace the antenna coax.
Test for infinite resistance between the antenna coax center terminal and ground.
? If less than the specified value, replace the antenna coax
Test for infinite resistance between the antenna coax outer shield and ground.
? If less than the specified value, replace the antenna coax
Test for less than 5 ohms at the cellular antenna coax center terminal from end to end.
? If greater than specified value, replace the cellular antenna coax cable.
Test for less than 5 ohms at the cellular antenna coax outer shield from end to end.
? If greater than specified value, replace the cellular antenna coax cable.
Test for infinite resistance between the antenna coax center terminal and the outer shield.
? If less than specified value, replace the cellular antenna coax cable.
If coax cable tests normal, replace the cellular antenna.
Clear the DTCs and operate the vehicle within the conditions for running the DTC. Verify DTC B2470 does not set.
? If the DTC sets, replace the CIM.
I'm going to assume you've got a PL-259 connector on the end of the coax cable - they look like this:
They are designed to screw onto the radio's RF / Antenna jack. The end shown is standard, the other end - that the cable enters, requires an insert that matches the coaxial cable outside diameter.
There are two versions of the connector; solder-less and soldered. The best connection is provided by the soldered type. It is superior both electrically and mechanically to to the solder-less version. If you lack soldering skills, patience and / or the tools and supplies to solder the connector, the solder-less version will be the way to go.
There are two types of solder-less types, a crimp and non-crimp type. They look like these:
The "Non-crimp" solderless PL-259 from Radio Shack - about $6.
A crimp type PL-259 connector - $2 and up at various radio & electronics stores.
Since this end of the antenna is at the radio and presumable protected from the elements, it may prove to work very well for you. Each of these connectors requires knowing the type cable (RG-58 and RG-8 are very popular types - but there are many other 50 ohm coax cables) or outside diameter and selecting the one that fits correctly, along with a crimping tool (and dies) for this particular connector size. You may get by with a standard pair of pliers, but the connection is not as good as would be obtained with the crimp tool. Generally, you would provide a crimp around the ferrule at the cable end for the braided conductor and another at the very tip of the connector for center conductor.
Each connector will include very specific cable preparation steps for the removal of insulating jacket, braid and dielectric material to provide proper fit of the connector to the cable. If it were a "standard", I would have included it.

Hi cducao,
Yes this is possible, all you have to do is to buy a 2-way cable splitter.
You will notice that it has 3 coax jack. One is for the common input(Source) and the signal will split to 2 outputs. You have to add another 2 cable wire with a standard RG-6 plug at both end to connect the 2 sets.
Let me know if you need further assistance.
Hope I helped you.
Have a nice day!
Thanks for using Fixya.
HD can come from two types of cables. A RF cable, normally it is a RG 6 or maybe a RG 59 coax cable. A HDMI cable is the other method of obtaining HD on your HDTV. A HDMI cable has a rectangular shape with small pins, its about 1/2 inch wide by 1/8 inch in height. The RF connector is about 1/4 in circular. A HD signal can come from a cable box or it can come from a DVD or Blue Ray player. Google these type of cables and look on your TV for the connectors.
It is your Cable Feed. Secondly, if you have one of the old "Black" Scientific Atlanta boxes roughly 10x8x2, make them exchange it for a Motorolla if possible. Make sure the feed to the cable box is RG-6 Quad shield RG-59 or RG-6 dual shield won't cut it. Then make them meter the feed to the house from the box. If you have the option, Go to FIOS from verizon. No comparason! same price, very, very few headaches! and the service blows cable away!!! If you need further help, post a reply with all the vital info: make, model, etc of your electronics and how old your existing cable to the house and into the house is. It will help alot. Hope this helps!
You have a rip saw that has a cable with a fuzzy picture?
If this is a cable TV question, two things come to mind ... TV is out of adjustment or you have some ground wires touching your center conductor on your RG-59 or RG-6 cable (or just came to mind - you have split the signal so many times there is no signal).
You can use a cable tester to test the quality of the cable ... you can cut off the ends and replace them. More likely than not, unless you have pro tools and ends (F fittings) you will not get much improvement from this. If you are guilty of multiple splitters in the line, reduce the number of splitters.
If this is a saw question, I dont understand your trouble.
What are you splitting? Coax - just split the out to tv line. A\V cables or componet cables you'll need to split all wires (a\v- yellow and at least white, red to if you want stereo. componet- green, red, blue for video and red and white for audio.
