    You need an ordinary splitter offered to hundreds via ebay.

    cut the big white wire and the splitter will have 1 hole on the top and 2 wires coming from the bottom.connect the big white wire to the point in the top and then 1 of the bottom wires will go to ur computer and plug the other into your dbox.

    Its a bit more than that m8. Best thing for you to do would be get some1 with a little experience to split it for you. If you do it your self all you will get are signal problems. Unless you find a diagram or something as to how it should look.

    dont i just connect the splitter to the telewest broadband box on the wall, then get two seperate cables , a different one in each of the holes on the splitter, with one in the back of the dreambox and the other connected to the modem ?

    If modem and box are in the same room connect the incoming cable to the splitter input and both devices to the splitter outputs.
