Integrating antennas and comcast cable - Blu-ray Forum

jc480 · 01-09-2009, 01:09 AM

So I have a coax coming into my house with the comcast signal on it...I have comcast cable and their internet services.

I'm getting sick of comcast's rates, fighting them every 6 months when their "package" rates go up & basically playing stupid games to get a decent price on programming.

Although I will miss ESPN, I'm considering going antenna only. My question is...can I run a coax from my antenna into a Y-splitter where one side in the antenna signal and the other is the cable....and let both signals run downstream into my house?

Will this work and is it a problem to have both comcast and an antenna signal running down the same coax?

The signals will interfere with each other. It wont work.
