Can you use a Ethernet splitter to divide a PC and directv HD receiver on a single port modem to use both computer and directv on demand?

To use DirecTV on demand and other connected features, an HD DVR would need to be connected via an Ethernet Cable in parallel with other networked devices into a router then to your modem. If you have Whole Home DVR service with DIRECTV then you'll need a Cinema Connection Kit otherwise you may have issues using your internet and whole home dvr services. Cinema Connection Kits come in wired and wireless options.
