Solution A A americanaudiophile Jul 6, 2015 If the recorder works when directly connected to the cable then you can split the cable and connect both it and the digital box. Make sure that the splitter has enough bandwidth to handle the digital signal. 2-3 ghz should be ok &storeNumber=1624&kpid=3583098&kpid=3583098&cm_mmc=SCE_PLA-_-RoughPlumbingElectrical-_-HomeAutomationAndMultmedia-_-3583098%3AIDEAL&CAWELAID=&CAWELAID=1375759717]http/www.lowes.com/pd_251903-12704-85-332_0__?k_clickID=1e153f5b-9d7b-ac88-baad-000057005f34&store_code=1624&productId=3583098&selectedLocalStoreBeanArray=[com.lowes.commerce.storelocator.beans.LocatorStoreBean%4057875787]&storeNumber=1624&kpid=3583098&kpid=3583098&cm_mmc=SCE_PLA-_-RoughPlumbingElectrical-_-HomeAutomationAndMultmedia-_-3583098%3AIDEAL&CAWELAID=&CAWELAID=1375759717
