Not cablecard setup related...just a stupid input question.

With two cablecards (or one multi-stream cablecard), do I need two coax inputs or just one in the "cable"-labeled input?

I know you shouldn't NEED one if the box is designed correctly...but I haven't read whether these boxes are able to split the signal to the two tuners or not. (and whether that makes a diff with the S or M cablecards)

Just one. There is one cable input, and it is split internally.

Just one. There is one cable input, and it is split internally.And that's true whether you're using S-cards, an M-card, or no cable card at all.

Perfect. I was thinking that was the case, but I didn't want to assume.

Thanks for the quick response guys! (the last dual-tuner capable TiVo I had was the DirecTV TiVo) :)
