I don't have (or even want) cable TV but I do want to power my computer via the cable connection. Will I have to pay for both since my TV is also my monitor for my computer?

No, I am a cable technician and when you get both cable and Internet you need a direct line to go to your modem. The cable for your TV is split off of the node that provides your whole area service. When you get Internet, the line coming from your node cannot be split and it has to go to your modem to convert the frequencies into a LAN connection.

Internet over cable uses a different set of frequencies from your TV channels. Before your computer can use it a device called a Cable Modem must be connected to convert those signals into a LAN which can then connect to your computer.
