I'm new to the forums and just got rid of DirecTV. I have cabling throughout the house that I was hoping to take advantage of by adding an antenna to the existing coax and sending the signal throughout the house to three different locations. Is this possible?

You can use the existing coax but you must be certain that you have removed all the DirecTV multi switches and splitters and substitute an ordinary 4-way splitter.

My house is in Alexandria VA, just south of Washington DC. The front of the house faces nearly due West, and just slightly towards the North. Their are some 2 story apartment buildings across the street probably 100' away.

I looked at an aerial photo of what I think is your area that shows the green signal lines, and you will need to angle the antenna in the window toward the north.

I should have good reception to many of the DC stations.

Well, the signals are strong but the location of the indoor antenna is critical. You might need to try different locations, because there will be multiple reflections of the signals.
I think you should try the Antennas Direct C2V with the indoor stand. The "V" is the added dipole for VHF-High signals like ABC and CBS on real channels 7 and 9.
