Unfortunately, due to the way Ethernet works, you cannot just split the cables. I would recommend checking if your TV has built in WiFi, and using that if it's available.
If you do need to use Ethernet, you need a Hub or (preferably, as they tend to be faster) a switch. You can get a low end hub for less than £10 with postage (e.g.

A wired connection is more reliable, but in my experience, wireless is usually reliable enough. The reason I use powerline is that there is rather a large WiFi Black spot at the back of the first floor of my house.
