I am seriously thinking of getting rid of my cable TV and using an outside antenna and the cable Internet for television. The question I have is when I put up an antenna can i just plug it into the coax cable coming into the house? I have my cable internet coming in on the same cable. Is this an issue or will it work.
no
you cannot splice your antenna into your coax for your internet
The question is a bit ambiguous. He CAN use the existing cable in the
house for his antenna, but it MUST be disconnected from the cable
TV/internet connection. If he disconnects the cable at the first
splitter, connecting only the internet to the incoming cable, he CAN
connect the antennae to the remaining installed cable. Just needs the
proper balun to adapt the antenna to the cable if the antenna is the
common 300 ohm twinlead instead of the 50/75 ohm co-ax
