I see this listed in my home router:
Device : COM-MID1It has an IP address, but is not connected. Could this be anything to do with me trying to connect a TV to my home network?
Just in case it's relevant the router is a BT 2700HGV.

From what I can see it seems to be a generic name for media devices like TVs or Blu-Ray players, probably used when the router cannot detect the actual model name. So yes, it's most likely the result of your trying to hook up your TV.
1I have that in my list. It is my Panasonic Smart TV.
2If you can see the mac address you can do a lookup and find out the manufacturer which might give you a clue
