Depending on the signal strength in your cable, you might want to get a powered splitter rather than an unpowered one...I think they're only a few dollars more.

sure. configure as you stated and when MCE looks for the tv signal,
it should find the tv signal and discover that there are no STB's.
you'll be prompted to download the guide for your zipcode, and there
will be at least two entries, one for comcast digital and one for
comcast. select the non digital one. if you have issues, post back
here.

Hello. I want to do the following:--
Add a 2nd tvtuner card (haven't looked inside the machine, but hope to
have a slot) to my HP m1270, which I will pull from an unstable Gateway.
We're going to scavenge as much as possible from the thing. The HP currently
works great with its one tuner.
Barb Bowman's excellent article about dual tuners seems to imply that a
set-top box, or two, are necessary.
We have no set-top boxes. We have plain analog cable tv from Comcast as
well as Internet, and would want to take our coax cable, put a splitter on
it, and continue on one to tunerA, and, well, there I don't know. Does the
other split just go to tunerB? We are going to playback ONLY into an Acer
LCD. This machine will not be connected to an actual TV set at all.
If I don't have a slot, can I try the same thing with a USB single tuner,
just connect coax to it?
Am I missing anything? Can I do this? Thank you, and happy 4th of July!
