So if I move the XBOX temporarily to an HDTV can they play in split screen? How do I do that? Sorry to sound stupid? Will the game realize it is HDTV and offer that option?

What cable are you using to connect the Xbox? AFAIK, it needs to transmit an HD signal which means you can't just use the red/white/yellow cable that you used on the SD tv.

That should be all you need then the Xbox should auto detect the cable when you turn it on if not refer to this guide link.
Any more questions just ask.
