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.







You will have to separate the incoming cable for internet from your antenna.. You can disconnect it a convenient outside point and then run a new wire from the cable company's wire directly to your cable modem. Then you can use your existing in-house wiring to run over the air tv by connecting your outside antenna to the now free entry point. Make sure all your tv's have the newer digital tuners in them as analog tv over the air is gone. Over the air is now all digital. Some cable providers were/are still delivering analog tv which worked with older tv's.
