Cable companies utilize satellite technology to initially get the signal, then it is distributed via underground or above ground cable.

How do you split cable internet to get cable television?

Depending on your cable company, it may not be possible. If you are paying for cable tv service, then you should be able to use a splitter from radioshack or anywhere that sells them. Make sure you get a splitter that goes up to 1000mhz, or 1 ghz. The splitter has an in and at least 2 outs, maybe more depending on how many devices you want. Be aware that splitting cable signal cuts it in half and if you do not have enough signal for this, your internet may stop working. If you are not paying for tv service, most companies will put something called a hypass on the line. This allows only the frequencies that carry internet signal to pass through. If you do not have one of these installed on your line, than you should be able to get tv reception. Good luck!

Do you need a set top box for basic cable service?

It really depends on your cable company and whether or not they've completely changed over to a digital signal yet. In that case, your TV would have to have a digital tuner in order to receive their signal. Many cable companies are supplying both at the present as they wait for America to switch to digital receivers. Best thing to do is call and ask the local cable provider.
