Cable Signal Splitter question

Dear guys, I have a question. Please help me out as this has been giving me aggressive OCD in the past few days. I am not very tech savvy so don't mind if i sound stupid.
I have a cable internet + TV service from my cable provider. They use Docsis 2.0 system and provide a coax cable to the home. The coax cable goes into a 1 to 2 splitter (it says -3.5db at both the outputs of the splitter). One output goes into the cable modem (via another coax cable) and the other output goes into an LED TV’s analogue input (via another coax cable). A couple of days ago I had an issue with my service so decided to troubleshoot myself. To test the signals, I plugged in the cable (from the cable provider) directly to my LED TV’s analogue input (without the splitter). Now I am worried that plugging the cable directly to the LED TV (bypassing the splitter) may have damaged the LED TV in some way etc. Please help me out!

Is your LED tv having issue? Cable signal shouldn't damage TV

The TV seems to be working fine, but that's the thing about OCD, You start to believe that u have harmed it in some way :s

No harm done.
The splitter is simple passive device and bypassing it CAN"T hurt your TV.
A higher quality splitter can do a better job. Sometimes the cable company cheaps out.
