Can you just unhook your satellite dish and hook up your antenna with the same coaxial?

Satellite and terrestrial both use similar co-axial cables so it is probably fine to use a satellite cable for an antenna.
If the cable needs to be extended, be sure to use a suitable 75 Ohm co-axial connector to make the joint. Twisting the conductors together and taping them will cause problems.

What is the size of dish antenna?
It depends on if you are getting HD service with Dish Network. If so, the Dish dimensions are 20.5"h x 22.5"w. Most satellite TV dishes are about the same size, they vary slightly to pick up the correct signals in orbit depending on what Dish programming you have.
What is the dtv green dish?
The DTV Green Dish is a new antenna, partnered with a dish and forms a highly directional, high gain system. It uses the parabolic reflector to focus terrestrial signals in a similar way to satellite dishes. It is claimed to improve reception with distant transmitters and the makers suggest it will be an improvement in all situations with guaranteed reception of all major channels. Buyers should probably have that kind of guarantee in writing before committing to the antenna. After all, it is breathtakingly expensive at $300. The antenna is limited to receiving only channels that are broadcast on the terrestrial channels. Don't expect it to deliver the premium cable and satellite channels.
What is the best TV satellite system for a motorhome?
It depends on what kind of motorhome and when you want to watch Dish TV. If you will be mobile and wanting television, you will need a self adjusting satellite dish; there are also stationary satellite dishes available. As far as a satellite system, I prefer Dish TV because of the price, channel selection and technology. Dish Network also has a affordable portable satellite dish that does not attach to your motor-home called the Dish Tailgater.
Will a spot beam help to fine tune a satellite television dish?
spot beams are usually for local channels beamed into a certain area. they have nothing to do with tuning the satellite dish.
Is a satellite dish a form of radio telescope or antenna?
A radio telescope gathers and focuses radio waves, or electromagnetic waves outside the visual spectrum. A satellite telescope is sent outside the atmosphere to become a satellite of either the earth or sun, unless it is sent outside the solar system like the Voyager spacecraft. Many satellite telescopes carry several types of telescopes in one package to gather as much information as possible, like the Hubble.
Where can you get a backyard satellite dish?
To find a satellite dish antenna for sale, going to the local television company would be the first stop. Typically they have a wide selection of satellite dish accessories and satellite dishes.
Does satellite internet service require specialized equipment?
"It requires a satellite dish, as well as coaxial cables to connect the satellite to the modem. You might have to pay for the equipment."
What is a statelite dish?
Satellite Dish is a dish-shaped type of parabolic antenna designed to receive microwaves from communications satellites, which transmit data transmissions or broadcasts, such as satellite television.
Satellite dish used as an antenna?
They do not make very good antennas though.
Can you run satellite dish on on your sony str-d715 receiver?
only if you have an RCA output from the dish to run into the receiver. The receiver does not have the standard coaxial input.
What is a statelite?

Does a satellite high-speed internet connections use an antenna?
Yes, it use's a dish similar to satellite TV users.
What is a spherical dish antenna required for satellite tv reception?
The parabolic antenna is really not an antenna at all - but a collector/reflector, which catches and concentrates RF (radio frequency) into a tiny antenna mounted above the dish, pointed into the dish. Since satellites transmit at very high frequencies (microwave), the actual antenna can be shorter than one inch. To strenghen the signal and make aiming the antenna at the satellite easier, the parabolic reflector picks up a wider area of RF.
How does one fit a cable to an external Ariel Dish?
The fit a cable to an external aerial dish, one must check the satellite receiver to find the coaxial socket. Connect the cable from your satellite receiver to the external antennae socket.
What is satellite dish?
A satellite dish is a parabolic television antenna that receives signals from communication satellites in orbit around the earth. Its sole function is to provide the television viewer with a wider variety of channels.
How do you get television without cable or satellite dish?
You may receive television from local stations via an antenna.
Does satellite radio work in inclement weather?
People who use satellite dishes for television reception are more apt to lose reception during inclement weather than someone who has a satellite radio. The difference is the dish and antenna. The dish is pointed in just one direction, while the antenna is omnidirectional. Because of this, those with satellite radios can still enjoy reception during inclement weather.
