The HD7694P will not include a mast, it will simply be a complete antenna, ready to connect to coax (none included).
Many satellite mounts will make an acceptable antenna mount, though low, which may have you pointing the antenna into the roof or adjacent building. If the existing mount is on the south side of the house you may have to install a new mast to get up, above the roof to let the antenna 'see' the NW horizon.
The coax in place may still be serviceable if water has not been allowed in the ends. If you suspect the coax is near the end of it's life expectancy, replace it with RG-6 or RG-6/U - you do not need quad-shield for over the air service. Some of the splitters and most if not all of the switches used in satellite reception will not be useful for over the air reception. You should plan on getting a passive splitter designed for OTA/CATV frequencies (5 MHz to 1000 MHz) if you have multiple sets.
TG's link to install instructions leads to multiple pages, be sure to follow the "next" link to read though all of the information, many of your questions are answered (even some you may not have thought of yet).
