Ok, thanks for the reply. So, i'll need 3 cables, correct? One from the wall to the splitter, and two from the splitter to the TV and Modem?
Also, i read somewhere that a splitter causes signal loss. Will this affect my internet speed, or cable reception? Thanks...

Just had a thread on this in the Lounge here.
You need to make sure you get the right kind of amplifier if you need that. i think it's called a reverse path.

Any splitter can potentially cause signal loss but decent ones will minimize the loss. It won't affect your speed, but it may affect connectivity.
Look for an operating frequency range of at least 5-1,000 MHz (higher is better), and a low dB rating for each connection (3.5 dB is common).

What would be the better choice, 3.5 dB or -5.7 dB?
