    Hi
    If you mean the supply cable coming into the house then yes, use a splitter, (1 in 2 out)+ some cable and connectors, popular auction site Konig 5-2400mhz

    thanks for the reply.
    I've heard there are two cables running to the box(one to watch and one to record) is this true and would it matter which cable was split or would i lose signal strength?

    Hi
    I'm guessing here as you don't give any details of what a 'dvr' box is but, if you mean a (( Motorola Dual-Tuner DVR High-Definition Set-Top DCT6412)) then I can't help you as I don't own one.
    It must tell you and give pictures showing In and Out connections in the Manual.
    UPDATE : Just googled it and it only has one cable input (where's the problem??

    I have the same sort of box and I am splitting the signal that comes into the house,one goes to the UPC bpx and the other to my replay box.If you are MMDS you will need to get an extra MMDS power adapter to connect it to the second digibox.
