Re: [Cable] help with splitter configuration I'd add an amplifier to the setup to keep the analog signals clean. If you have the cable company do it, they'd probably want to install an amp as well.
It's simple to do. Using a 1GHz 2-way splitter, one leads to the cable modem, the other to an 8-way amplifier. The amplifier MUST be bi-directional, otherwise the digital box will cease to function.
Electroline makes an excellent line of "Digital Bi-Directional" amps. Most cable companies I've seen use them, so you can't go wrong using one. They're easily found on eBay, just run a search for "Electroline 8 amplifier" and you'll find a bunch of them. Just make sure you see either "Drop Amp" or "Active Return" or "5-40 54-1000 MHz" somewhere in the description.
