Thanks for all the replies. The article that Bob mentioned is the setup for
two tuner and tv top boxes. However in my office the cable is coming
straight from the wall into the tuners. Is there a way to watch two
different tv stations? Also does it matter where the splitter goes for the
one cable coming out of the wall?
