    these cable boxes, are the vm boxes or other boxes?

    you will need a splitter, if all you have is one modem and two cable boxes you will need a three way splitter. i am guessing you already no how to set the splitter up for the 3rd box. splitters are available from maplins or ebay. co-ax cable is fine but i would recommend the sky co-ax cable,(not the copperstarnded but silver foil)

    if you want more help just ask
