Question on Coaxial Cable Splitters; HD Cable Box and Cable Modem

I am trying to have my Comcast HD Cable Box and Cable Modem in the same room from the same wall outlet. I don't really know much about splitters and wanted to get some ideas on what the best splitter for something like this would be? What should I look for in a splitter to make sure it will work for what I want it to do?

Should I be concerned about TV picture degradation if I do this?

Would this item be a good choice?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions and tips!!

Will HD content be more than 5-1000MHz? I just want to make sure that whatever splitter I get will be able to work with HD content and split to a cable modem.

I welcome any and all comments. Thanks everyone!

I really only need to split the cable 2 ways. Does it make a difference if the device splits 2 ways / ways etc? Thanks again for the information on this.
