The coax enters at one end of the house, and the cable modem is at
the other end.
However, it is possible to run a new coax cable from the cable
junction box to the modem.
I'd have to run another cat 5 across the house too, and get another
ethernet switch. And then I'd have to get a signal amp and run it
also.
Why not use the cat 5 (or wireless) for your internet, and use the cable
for the OTA TV signal? Coax cable with internet gets converted at a modem,
no? Locate the modem as close to the entry point to the house as possible,
break the coax at that point, run new coax from outside antenna to break
point, amplify and send on to rest of house. At the cable modem, connect
either ethernet router or wireless router (or both).

I have internet from the cable company, but no cable tv. Since the cable
company can run tv and internet over the same cable in the house, is there
a way I can take a coax from the antenna, and put that in the coax with the
internet?
I assume this would be in the cable junction box attached to the outside
of the house or after the coax comes out of the junction box.
If this can be done, it would simplify trying to get a second TV running.
The new tv is running on a coax that I ran directly to the tv from the
antenna. There is a cable coax and the antenna coax at that tv, so that
might be a place to connect the two without adding another coathanger
antenna.
I am planning to put a coathanger antenna outside to run the second tv,
but I think it is possible to add an amplifier to the coax from the
existing attic antenna and then feed the whole cable system.
We installed coax over the whole house in 2001 (along with a lot of cat 5
so ethernet is available almost anywhere in the house.)
I have tried running multiple coax from one MAKE.com antenna, but that
does not work. I assume that if a signal amp was added at the first coax
joint, then it may be possible to run multiple tv sets from one MAKE
coathanger antenna.
