It depends on the jurisdiction you are in. In most countries or states, tampering with any kind of utility box on the street or in a home may well be considered to be criminal. If the tampering results in damage, which is likely, charges of criminal or malicious damage may apply. If the tampering is with a view to obtaining services without paying for them, offences of theft or fraud might be considered.
In most jurisdictions, fines may be considered but the offences are also very likely to carry a jail term as well as or instead of a fine.
On balance, it's probably best to leave all adjustments to the local cable box to the cable company themselves. I understand that most prisons have a very limited cable service.

Can a digital cable box ruin a tv?
I think so...my digital cable box was REALLY warm to the touch. When I turned my TV on it played a few minutes then went out. We have had digital cable for about 5 years and no problem...but then the box never was hot either. I think something went wrong in the box and fried my TV. Can't prove it...but my TV was fine until the box heated up....then it didn't work anymore.

Cable spliter for 3 TVs it worked fine until you hooked up a digital cable box now the other two rooms can must turn the tv to channel 3 and can only see the channel the box in turned to?
Sounds like you hooked the 3-way splitter to the RF out coax jack on the cable box, which only puts out rf on channel 3 and only what the box is tuned to in regards to programming. Hook up the line from outside to the input of the splitter, each output of the splitter to each cable box/tv input.
