Yeah, it's not really accurate to say that the players get 50% of the tv revenue (although, in the grand scheme of things, you can look at it that way).
The tv revenue goes into the total league-wide HRR. That total HRR is used to calculate the salary cap, and the CBA guarantees the players exactly 50% of all combined HRR.
The players get 50% of the money, but as part of their combined salaries, not as separate money.
