How can I hook up an outdoor TV antenna to feed the signal to all my rooms using the cable connection in wall?

Absolutely. Make sure the antenna you select has a 75 ohm connector so you can use coaxial cable. Connect the antenna to a "splitter" available at any hardware or electronics store. Connect the cables from the various rooms to the output terminals on the splitter. If the signal is not strong enough you can use a splitter with an amplifier. Since your home is already wired, there may be a central junction already in place, in which case you simply wire the antenna to the junction.

There's a connector to hook to the antenna with 2 wires coming from it that you screw to the antenna and the other end is for a coaxial cable. After you connect the connector to the antenna run coaxial cable from the antenna to the house where cable would normally be hooked up. It should be somewhere on the back of the house.

Can I use coaxial cable on my house mounted, outdoor TV antenna?

Yes.. You can buy a Matching Transformer at Radio Shack for about 5 bucks...It converts the flat wire to coax cable.
