How install FIOS TV, already have FIOS internet

Hello.  I'd like to add FIOS TV for one TV.  I already have FIOS internet and phone.  This seems like it should be easy.  Not sure where I get the coax to run to my TV?  Would I apply a splitter to the coax into my router? 

Thanks.

Provided you have an ONT and have subscribed to FiOS TV service you will need:

1) A CableCARD or STB from Verizon

2) A split Coax connection from the ONT to your TV/STB and coax connection to the router. The coax connection to the router is required to support Verizon's VOD and program guide service.

I would say it in a slightly different way:

1) A FiOS STB or another device such as a Tivo or PC tuner that supports a cable card (which you must rent from Verizon)

2) A coax splitter that passes at least 1GHz to supply the video signal to the FiOS STB or another device as described above, plus the Internet signal for the guide and VOD for an STB.
