Yes, 75 ohm cable w/ "F" connector into cable box, then either "F"-jack coaxial, composite (one wire usually color-coded yellow) or S-video cable into your TV depending on its inputs.

No reason to connect your cable box and DVD/VHS player together; they're two separate sources that can feed directly into your TV independently. If your set has both component and S-video jacks, and your cable box has an S-video out, run the S-video from cable box to your TV. DVD/VHS will be on component. Use the TV remote's "Input" or "TV/VCR" button to switch from cable to DVD/VHS.

Hope this helps x2 . . .
