If you re-use the 8-way splitter (passive I presume), you might need to add a high input preamp such as a Winegard HDP 269.

Do not try to combine OTA signals with cable. To do so will cause you to transmit signals into the air on aircraft navigation and communication frequencies.

If you are going to keep your existing internet access on cable, you will likely need to run some additional RG-6. But I think that you may be able to isolate the cable modem, freeing up the cables to each set.
Can this be mounted in the attic or must I roof mount it?
As far as a splitter goes do you recommend a specific one or can I just use this one?

Definitely keeping cable inet. Only other option is DSL which I've had nothing but bad experiences with.

So if I was to use the existing cables, how would I tie the new antenna into that group?I guess regardless I'm gonna have to somehow run a rg6 to the spot where the existing cables split or do separate runs for everything?
