Use of Cox coax cable for OTA antenna
I am in the process of terminating my Cox cable TV but keeping Cox internet. I do not have a phone land line. The coax enters the house where it splits to the cable modem and to the TVs. I intend to disconnect the coax supporting the TV from the internet so there will be no cross feed or interference. I will return the cable boxes to Cox.
My intent is to connect an OTA antenna directly to the coax cable and use the coax already throughout the house to feed OTA signals to those TVs. I have an in-line amplifier installed in this circuit to boost signal strength.
My question is the coax cable used in Cox TV service compatible with OTA signal?
Thanks
- Hi Tpfeffer,
The coax cable in your home is capable of transmitting an over-the-air signal.
