Antenna: Can I use an indoor antenna with a coaxial cable?

Yes you can, if your signals are strong enough. You can even make a surprisingly effective HDTV antenna yourself at small cost, using a design that performs better than most commercially available indoor antennas. http://www.instructables.com/id/How_to_make_a_fractal_antenna_for_HDTV_DTV_plus_/

besides the magnetic antenna, it comes with an antenna connector. I'm not sure if it will support coax cable

Yes this is an indoor antenna. I have very good reception with it and I would recommend it.

A coaxial cable connects to the antenna. Then the other end normally connects to the TV. Instead of connecting, the cable connects to a small amplifier that then connects to the TV. And that amplifier must be also connected to electricity. But it is right at the TV, so it is no issue.

no the cable is imbedded in the base of the antenna the other end has a standard coax connector

I run a similar antenna using coaxial cable up my steps to a room I receive most channels. You need a window at least.

All inputs and outputs that I have used are RCA type jacks and pin jacks. I have not tried coaxial.

The preamp unit itself should be placed on the antenna, or any signal gain from the preamp at the antenna would be lost over the longer coax cable. The power for the preamp does not need to be close to the antenna, though. I have the antenna and preamp in my attic, but the power for the preamp is in my basement.

you can use any type of antenna with a co-axial connection (the type you twist & screw). i use a regular pair of $5 "rabbit ears". also, i live in a large city...so signal reception is great and rarely an issue. my box is connected to my tv with an HDMI connection (not included).

I used the existing coax cables and installed the antenna in the same spot the satellite was. This should work fine; however, I get no channels with my antenna.

I run two TVs off of my antenna and I am not using a pre-amp. It works fine for both TVs. However, I can't answer your in-house coaxial system question.

I used a long coaxial cable that I had left over from a previous cable installation. The cable is NOT included with the antenna.

This was designed for cable signals. For indoor antenna, I recommend trying a different antenna all together instead of a signal booster. A booster will not improve an over the air signal that is poor due to obstacles.

Everything I've read indicates "no". They can help with weak signals if you already have a clear line of sight (and can potentially distort already strong signals), but given that you're on the ground floor it probably wouldn't help. If you have a 50-100' cable run (possible if you're running long stretches of coax around the apartment) it could definitely help. Keep in mind it needs to be placed as close to the antenna as possible for best results. Worst thing that happens is that you get one, it doesn't help, and you return it.

You need to try it at different locations as well as angles (of the antenna) in the room. Run a coax cable to the the other end and try as well. You'll need quite a bit of patience. Good luck.

It comes with an indoor wire antenna which can be connected. However, I did not notice any difference in reception between it and the fixed antenna.Hellmut

Yes, just get a connector with dual female ends and a length of coax cable to reach between the antenna and your tv.
