yes you can use a spliter

but you're going to get a split signal... so if ur tv is ever on then instead of getting say the advertised speed of 1mb (just an example) ull get speeds of around 512k

i never have noticed any difference in my internet if my cable tv was on......but yes a splitter is the way its done.

if im on the internet and watching tv will the clarity of the picture be altered in any way

Whatever company sets up your cable internet, probably will do the splitter for you. When I got cable in my house, they ran a splitter from the box and put in the line for me. All I had to do was twist on the cable to the wireless modem and go.
