Subject: [mythtv-users] splitting signal?

I have a general question about trying to do a couple things and would like
some feedback on those. I have comcast cable with a topbox from Scientific
Atlanta 8610X558. I have basic analog cable. I got mythtv to work with
different frontend so thats all figure out. The cable is not yet plugged to
the computer because i dont have an irblaster and would rather watch cable
on the tv. My question is this... 

I want to be able to watch live TV while something is recording on the
computer. I want to be able to switch channel on the tv while the computer
is still recording. Then at some point I want to watch the recorded shows on
the TV... 

Im thinking it needs a splitter or something. I dont have irblaster
installed yet. Can someone shed some light on this, howto.

thanks
