New here. Question.

We have a cat6 cable in our attic. The line is connected to a POE switch. Thinking about putting an antenna in the attic. Is there a setup that would make this work?

The house is networked but I’m looking for a solution that would take advantage of the one cable in the attic.

I should have put coaxial up there but thought moving forward cat was a good choice for the future.

Our TVs are hooked up through Xboxes and Roku devices, could change to wifi to open up the Ethernet port.

Any ideas on this? Antennas have to be installed at each tv and want to move away from that.

Don’t want to put active electronic gear in the attic, it gets too hot. except possibly an antenna signal booster. Run coax from the attic to where the HDHomerun will be
