Typically the HD Box will put out a single channel, so while you can split it, you simply get the same channel on both.  Often these boxes use a 3 connector cable (left, right, video), a 5 connector cable (left, right, blue, green, red) or HDMI cable.  If there is a cable type output, it's only intended for very old TV's that do not have video inputs, I don't think many TV's made in the last 10 years or so, have not had some kind of video input. 

Hmm.. thanks for the responses... so what is the best way to get HDTV (via cable, subscribed and paid for) into my PC, and more specifically into something like Windows Media Center? I'd rather not have to use the Roger's box to change channels, ideally I'd like to be able to just plug a cable line into my usb tv tuner so I could use it's custom software, PVR/timeshifting etc.
