I have many components hooked up to our incoming cable, but can no longer use the vcr to record, so am hoping to figure out what cord goes to what component. Can anyone tell me what gets connected to what?

This is the scenario: The living room has a TV and a VCR; the bedroom room to the left of the living room has a computer; the bedroom to the right of the living room has a computer, a small tv, and a vcr.

The computers are networked together (not even sure that is the correct lingo) and I believe are joined by a DLink box.

Also, I recently got a digital cable modem so that I could get more TV channels. So now, in the living room, there is the DLink box, a cable modem (cable internet), and another modem (digital cable modem).

I am feeling really confused as to what goes where... When I got the digital cable modem a couple weeks ago, I thought I connected it the proper way. Apparently not, because now the vcr in the living won't record, and I can't figure out what I've done wrong and why the vcr no longer records. That just doesn't make sense to me that it no longer works. I'm just feeling really confused now and am hoping there is an easy way to figure out what goes to what.

Thanks for any advice you can offer.

p.s. Does price matter when it comes to splitters? I recently bought a new one, but it was fairly cheap. Does that matter? It is a 4-way splitter, and on it, it says "5 - 900 MHz". Will it work fine (once I get this all sorted out)?
