Do you think this is good enough for my particular application, or would you suggest going to Radio Shack for a beeter quality version ? If so, what specs. should I be looking for ? Have no knowledge about such technology?

Most likely it will work just fine so give it a try, you can't hurt anything. Both your tv and your cable modem have front end amplifiers with automatic gain control that work over a wide range of power levels.

You can test your internet connection before and after at:

As for the tv you will either get a clear picture or you will get noise and/or digital artifacts (very unlikely).
