To connect an old TV to a satellite receiver box, you typically need an RCA composite cable, which consists of three color-coded connectors (yellow for video, red and white for audio).

Then simple connect the cable that feeds the signal (usually attached to the wall or fed through the floor) to the splitter and connect the other 2 coaxial cables to the other end of the splitter and run the cables to the old TV and the new one. If you have Digital cable, Satellite or other forms of TV, you may not be able to receive all, if any, channels via direct TV connection in which case you would need a Digital Converter for the TV you are trying to add.
