Adding a line for a TV

I would like to run a coax line to another room to add a TV. Can I split an existing TV line, or do I need a dedicated line from the main cable box outside.

Is that a yes to splitting the existing line, or a yes to running a dedicated line?

Once the cable passes the Dmarc, where it connects to your electrical ground, the coaxial is all yours to do with what you want. How it is accomplished depends on how much signal you want going to the outlet and for what? Mini box, HD, etc? 

Whether or not you need a dedicated line depends on how much signal your starting with and if it will still be strong enough when split in half. Try and find out? If it doesn't work, you can always pay Cox to come out and clean anything up.

Best to have a tech come out to install it. You can split the line in the house or the tech my decided to run it from outside. It will depend on which option will give you the optimal signal levels.
