Question on "wireless" TV

[djh3]

I want to put a TV in the home office for the wife, and I so you could watch the news or something if you were working in here. I am on cable internet and the gateway (router) is in the office also. But I had a TV connected to the cable where it comes in and then a splitter and one line going to the router. My speeds were down in internet connection and the guy that came out said it was because that line had too many legs or whatever off it, so I removed that TV.

Now I'm looking at flat screens to mount on the wall as the office configuration has changed and thats all that would fit really. I have looked a little at some different wireless TV gizmos, but really dont understand much about them. The wiring of a couple looks not quite rite to me. It shows the cable come in say at your living room TV then into the wireless gizmo then into your cable box. To me this looks like it would only give you the basic cable as it wouldn't go thru the cable box to allow the HD channels I get.

Is there a splitter I could put in the office where cable comes in and a amplifier or something so my signal for the modem isn't degraded?

I don't think the extra TV would cause your speed problem. I've got splitters all over the house with 6 TVs all connected to cable along with my cable modem. I've had speed issues before and the cable guy came in a replaced all of my splitters which didn't help the problem. It was fixed when they found a bad part in a distribution box a couple of blocks away. They should be able to check the signal strength at the modem work back from there.
