Tivo question: Record while watching another channel

I bought Tivo yesterday and thus far i love it. I know there is a way to watch a channel while Tivo is recording another (standalone Tivo, Comcast Digital Cable), but I not sure exactly how. I think I need to buy a splitter (?) but would like a step by step how-to please. The less I have to buy the better.

TIA

You can use a splitter to a cable ready TV or VCR, but you won't be able to watch any of the digital channels while it's recording. Only the analog cable channels (usually anything below channel 100 on most systems).
