Pretty sure splitters were allowed as long as they didn’t split into another home

Yeah, didn’t they usually not even allow for individual channel selection? I remember my grandparents having on for their basement TV. We had to watch whatever the adults were watching upstairs as kids.

Sounds like they split the signal after the cable box. The original Duplicate Screen.

Well yeah, otherwise you would have needed another box and who had money for that?

I mean I think people are talking about old school basic cable where your TV was the tuner, no cable box needed unless you wanted a guide and DVR

I still have free cable this way in my house. Way nicer TVs though.
