TV connection to home internet

I have 2 TVs with no wifi capability. They are in different rooms and neither of them is in the area recommended by T-mobile. They are connected to my cable service provider by the wall jack. How would this work with the T-mobile home internet? Will I have to upgrade the TVs to switch to the home internet service?

    T-Mobile Home Internet is not a replacement for cable TV.  If you currently have cable TV and cable internet, you can replace the internet with T-Mobile Home Internet and keep the cable TV service.   You can eliminate the cable TV service and become a “cord cutter.”  The only requirement for your TVs is that they have HDMI ports.  You would need to buy an inexpensive streaming device (Amazon Fire TV Stick or Roku Streaming Stick, or Roku Express) for each TV.  The connect to the TV’s HDMI port and connect to your home internet via Wi-Fi.
