Like others, I am seriously considering going to an off-air/streaming solution and ditching cable services (except Wi-Fi). I have searched extensively online for an answer to my question without success. And it's probably a dumb question.
The best spot for an off-air antenna is coincidentally about 4 feet from where my cable feed comes into the house. If I run coax from my antenna to the main input in the box outside on the side of my house, will it provide the off-air feed to all TV's currently on my whole house cable network? In other words, disconnect my cable input and simply replace it with the antenna input.
It should, right? All I am doing is replacing the source for content...off-air antenna vs cable. My BIL claims it won't work, and I will need separate antennas for each TV like he does...one antenna for one TV.
Since the house was built in 1996, I'm pretty sure the inside network is RG59 cable...if that matters.
TIA.
