Yes
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would not. Try it first I guess to save some $$. But I think to get 1080 you need current cable. It's much thicker. Plus how do you know your current cable isn't cracked all over the place? Rip that old junk down.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.RG 6 is recommended. Old Coax is RG 59. Could probably work if very short cable run. I would replace...The wire inside is heavier gage ,less loss more data capable.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I used the original cable that was installed when the house was built and everything works great.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can use the same coaxial however if your television made before 2009 you may need to invest in a digital converter. If you’re not sure of the age of your television you can check your manual for that information. -ATSC, it means you do have a built in tuner that will allow reception of digital television channels. -NTSC means you do not have the built in tuner and you will need a digital converter. -If you’re still not sure, please call your TV manufacturer. A digital converter box connects to your existing TV and allows it to receive free over-the-air digital TV signals. A digital converter box is a one-time purchase with no monthly fees. One converter box is necessary for every TV that doesn't have a built-in digital tuner and that receives its signal over the air with an antenna. They are fairly inexpensive and can be found at electronics stores or online.
