Splitting FIOS coax into TV and internet

Hi,

there are three outlets in my home: two connected to STBs and one to an Actiontec modem. I also have a wireless router; I have disabled wireless on Actiontec.

I was told that I can use splitters to split the signal into internet and TV on each outlet. I tried in with the outlet that goes to router and can't get it to work. I have a tv/monitor connected to my PC and thought I could watch TV on it (at east the cable channels) if I connect the coax from splitter to the monitor.

My question is how do I set this up on all three outlets to have both internet and tv access?

Do I have to have a separate router for each outlet that is split to provide both tv and internet?

If so, how would the additional routers need to be set up (they use the same intet address as the ActionTec and use different IPs locally (actiontec uses 192.168.1.1)?

Any help you guys can provide on how to set this up is greatly appreciated. I want o keep the wireless use to a minimum, this way I can connect XBox and PC connected directy to user supplied router as well as having STB accss.
