Is it possible to connect my cable box to both my TV and computer?

Just get a tv tuner card, that's how literally everyone records tv shows.

What are you talking about nigger do you even know how digital TV works?

Get a one of those gayman capture cards if that cable box outputs in HDMI.

With the capture card can I watch the game on the TV while recording it on the computer? Cable box has both component cables and HDMI. Was gunna connect to TV with component and computer with HDMI.

If it's not possible I'm gunna have to use my TV as my desktop monitor right?

Yes.
You can either directly capture from the card itself with a hard drive (depending on which one you buy) or use something Like OBS Studio or FFMPEG to capture and display the video on your computer at the same time while still having it play on your TV.

Do you? Using a capture card to record TV is appropriately nigger-tier.

A lot of cable companies don't even let you receive any channels without going through one of their cable boxes, which generally have HDMI and RF outputs.

You could use a TV tuner card with the RF output, but you'd be limited to 480i and going from digital to analog and then back to digital. Some cable boxes have analog component outputs that can do HD, but you'd still be going from digital to analog and then back to digital.

The best solution is to use a good capture card with an HDMI input that supports HDCP. All digital, full resolution, no quality loss.

They literally have to let you use a tuner in the US, you just need one made for digital cable.

Also, this is wrong too. With a cable tuner you can copy the source 1080i/720p stream directly (truly no quality loss, but it's already garbage) but with a capture card you're re-encoding it and getting lowered quality guaranteed.

Forgot about Cablecards. Do PC tuners with Cablecard slots actually exist? If so, that's where it's at.
