I am seriously thinking of getting rid of my cable TV and using an

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.

Hi.
You can't mix two signals from the air and cable. You connect antenna
coax to TV antenna connector.

If it was just mixing signals on different frequencies, you might be
able to do it with the appropriate filters. However there is the
upstream (cable modem TO cable company) channel to consider. I expect
it'd be easier to put in a new cable for the modem, and use the existing
ones just for TV.
