This just occurred to me. Since the house I am buying was built in 2002 and is wired with rg6, can I simply attach coax to the wall connections and attempt to use the houses' cable network as a giant omnidirectionall antenna?
Not a good idea. It's shielded and might pick up electrical interference from the power wiring. You are welcome to try it as long as nothing else is connected to the wiring.

If so can I have wifi running on the same cable network without interference?
Very bad idea.
