yes, coax. I think it sent her maybe a 50 ft cable i had here - didn't
measure it, but i also sent her a 50 ft cat5 and a 15 ft cat5, and it
looked bulky enough to be 50ft. (They are having problems with the usb
wireless adapter - it keeps losing the signal and i'm tired of trying
to fix it over the phone - so that computer is going wired and they
are moving the wireless AP to a better location.)

I know there can be problems if the cable is too long unless you use a
powered splitter, but at this point she just wants a tv in her room
and I wanted to make sure what i sent will get her by. She doesn't
want to spend a lot of money doing it, but will probably hit me up for
a powered splitter on our next visit. <g> (If i look around i might
even find a powered splitter from the olden days.)

well this is my philly daughter... so yes, there is broadband in the
signal - but i thought it came out at the modem? (ok, so i have never
seen a cable modem setup - they didn;'t have them when i had cable.
:)) i was figuring the splitter goes on the feed to the first TV.

There could also be problems splitting a cable TV feed - especially if it
includes broadband, or telephone services, as those tend to have separate
frequency bands for the component signal sets, and the 'distribution boxes'
require the terminal connection devices for those services to be responding
to each of  the packets sent to them.
