you cannot use the same coax for cable and atsc, if you have an unused one in your outdoor box you can use it you just have to take it off the splitter and put it directly to your antenna, if you are only using uverse for internet its likely you can narrow down the one that is being used for your modem and pull the others off the splitter and put another splitter in the box with it for your tv signals, if you have uverse equipment everywhere you would have to double coax your whole house, a pain to do and why do it if you have paid for tv that gets your local channels
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.A cable can only support traffic for one data source on a signal cable. Typically there will be a junction box or a place where the cable gets into your house. My house was already wired for cable. What I did was to use splitters and I brought the main ISP feed, uverse in your case, directly into the modem. That gave me the internet. What I did was separate all the remaining cables into the antenna system. I ran the antenna, with amplifier, into a splitter and distributed the antenna signal to all the remaining cable outlets. So, I divided up the existing cable. Its not that hard, you just have to mark each cable for where it goes. Then you can change things any way you want to. The one that goes to the room where the modem is got the cable feed directly from the outside cable connection. The remaining cable infrastructure went to the antenna. This way you get your ISP feed and can distribute that on a wireless router (after the modem). The remaining cable goes to your antenna and all the other places. You effectively divide up your cable into two regimes, antenna and outside ISP.

This way any other splitters can be used for the antenna to get signal to 4 TVs. Feel free to contact our Technical Support team for more support.
