If the existing coax was installed by the cable company but has been disconnected, you should be able to use it with no problems, just be sure the 'drop' (the feed cable from the cable co. network) is disconnected from the grounding block or first splitter.

Active cable signal and an OTA antenna must not be mixed together, the result will be 'harmful interference' to aircraft, fire and police frequencies.

The cable from a satellite system can be reused. Diplexers and multiswitches will need to be removed though.
