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. I like it because I can have it on for background noise without picking what to watch. Way nicer TVs though.
