I am a complete no-brainer when it comes to computers.
The set up we have in our house at the moment is my sister has a very old mac with a dial-up internet connection.
I have recently bought a new laptop (MSOFT) and want to set up wireless internet access.
We only have 1 x phone line.
At the moment when we connect to the dial up it makes the phone line engaged.
I currently have a splitter in the socket which supplies phone & digital TV. This splitter has 1 free port so 1st question -
Can I plus the wireless router into this free port without causing any probs to telephone & TV?
2nd question - Hopefully I will be able to network my sisters Mac to my wireless connection as well (so this problem might not occur) but I have a feeling it might be too old.
If this is the case & my sister needs to keep her old dialup for her Mac can I have the wireless connection AND the dial-up going through the same phone line??
Please can someone help me as this is all WAY over my head!!

Get someone that can explain to you what kind of equipment you already have and ask this question again if I did not guess your setup.
Digital TV does not use the telephone wire, unless you are talking about the hybrid Satellite TV that uses the phone line to order services for download. In that case, I would guess you have a DSL service and your wireless router is actually a DSL MODEM/Wireless Router. If this is the case, then you can attach the DSL/Router to this phone line without interfering with anything. All other telephone equipment will require the filters supplied by the DSL provider, and that includes the dialup line used by the old Mac.
