I agree about the impedences & levels being changed when the video is split, but it depends on the sensitivity of the video circuitry in the TV as to whether it is acceptable or not. It might be worth a try before a more expensive option is tried.

Another option is an RF modulator. I am sure I have seen one somewhere with a scart connector (the Maplin one only accepts phono inputs).
If you have a VCR you could use it to modulate the cable signal onto an RF carrier for distribution. Hower using the RF, be it direct from the STB or via a VCR will mean you only get mono sound.
