I recently got a Sony tv tuner/monitor so that the computer can also function as a tv. I called Circuit City about the DVI-D cord which came with the accessories, but the guy said I didn't need it since I had the other analog cord attached. Anyway, I can use the monitor fine for computer use, but still trying to get the tv part working. He said I need to get a splitter for the cable modem and then attach the coaxial cable from that to the monitor/tuner and I should be good to go.
My question (hope it's not dumb!)...If I take off the cable going into the modem so I can put a splitter, will that affect anything...such as, will the modem stop working all of a sudden? I thought there was SOMETHING we were warned about not doing to the road runner system otherwise you'd have to make an appt. and WAIT for them to come get it all runnin' smoothly again.
Thanks much for any advice!! Also, are DVI ports becoming more common these days? My computer doesn't have one.
