I'm just wondering which one would I order as some say 5-1000mhz others say 5-2400mhz the one above is 2400mhz
You're not splitting a satellite signal, you're splitting a CATV signal. Don't worry about that warning, its not relevant to a cable TV scenario.

However, do be aware that splitting your cable TV cable carries the same risk as making a major change to the length of your TV cable. If you make too much of a change to the installation in your house you can alter signal levels to the point where your service won't work any more.
