If you have multiple TV sets currently connected to cable TV, you can reuse the wiring, and, if there is a splitter somewhere on or inside the house, it should divide the signal for you without much of a problem. However, if you are using more than 2 TV outlets currently, it would behoove you to add a small distribution amplifier like a Winegard HDA-100 or a Channel Master CM3410 in the coax line after the antenna and BEFORE the splitter to minimize splitting and line losses inherent in multiple TV set operation.

A word of warning, however: Stucco exteriors and tile roofs are real signal killers, and even a high-quality TV antenna installed in the attic may have issues seeing enough signal. Your BEST alternative is always an outdoor installation, preferably as high as you possibly can go.
