Or buy the bi-directional splitter from Radio Shack often
mentioned on this list then put the cable modem as far
down stream as possible. The problem with putting the modem
and cable box first is that it weakens the signal before it
gets to the amp. Using a bi-directional splitter can get
a cleaner signal to all the video devices and cable modems
aren't all that picky about signal quality anyway =).
