How do I split a co-axel cable from a digital box to hook up a second tV?

Using a coax splitter. Radio Shack or any TV retailer will have them. However that means that both TVs will see the same programming.

Thanks, Scottgems for your suggestion of the coax splitter... OK I have my coax splitter, now how do I connect it. Which wire goes on the "in " side and which goes into the other two connections ( 2 way splitter) I need to get a connection from my digital box to a second TV in the next room. I'm a senior Grannie and not very" teck" literate.

First, please don't start a new thread for a follow-up. Use the Answer This Question options.
Do you want to be able to watch the same program on both TVs or do you want to watch different programs? Is one or both TVs digital compatible?

I only need to watch the same program on both TVs. Yes I am quite sure both Tvs are digital compatible.

Ok, then the out from the digital box goes into the In on the splitter. Then the outs from the splitter go to each TV.

If advocate has really modern TV''s with video/audio out and video/audio in, then it's even easier. No need for a digital converter.
