“I recently purchased this antenna, and intend to set it up this weekend. I was hoping to hook it up to the existing main junction left by the cable company. Can I use my existing coaxial set up with the antenna and the internet at the same time?”

Yes, but you have to make sure to pointed to the right location. I use the same coaxial cables the cable company uses to get the signal in my home.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, that's what I did. Cable company wiring and splitters are exactly the same as what you'd use for over the air reception.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.So sorry... They cannot mix. You can separate the two right outside the home by the box. You may need to piggyback through an already existing hole or drill a new one to get inside. Once you can use the already installed coaxial for the antenna and the new run for your internet. Thanks!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes and no. I have internet coming into my house through my cable so I couldn't tie the antenna in directly. At the junction box, I had to disconnect the input (the cable that fed all the cable outlets in the house) and run it directly to my cable modem and then back at the junction box I tied the antenna in by splitting it to the up and downstairs (the same place the input was originally going) so it's running to all the cable outlets in the house now. I hope this helps.
