So if I get the right bits, & maybe check my signals with rdhw's DOCSDIAG before & after, it should be easy enough...?

Sounds like you have the right idea to me
but bear in mind that a signal can pass thru a splitter in both directions. I would be inclined to add a high pass filter in the leg to the TV(s). This is to help reduce any noise that your TVs might generate in the frequency band used for the cable modem's uplink path. I suspect, but don't know, that using a distribution amp will help too as its front-end may well be quieter than a TV's.

All signals: digital TV; analogue TV; digital radio; analogue radio and cable modem are carried on the same cable. They are separated using Frequency Division Multiplexing or, in other words, they're all carried on different frequencies.
