Yesterday, we connected the cable to the cable modem to the computer, and the internet connection worked fine. However, she thinks this machine should be able to act as a TV also. It has a remote control similar to the one for my TV. There is a coaxial connection card on the back of the machine. My question is, can I use a splitter on the same line with one wire to the modem, and the other to the TV card? If so, what things should I be aware of? This is new territory for me. Also, if so, can both internet and TV function at the same time? (eg. watch TV in one window, and browse or get email in another). OS = XP Media Edition (or something like that.)
