Yes, you can use the coaxial cable from you dish. Typically, a satellite dish has 2 coaxial cable lines going from the dish to the receiver. You’ll want to check that the correct line is connected. Also, if the dish signal was going to more than one location, you likely need to replace the splitter in the distribution box, usually located outside your home, with a full-range (by-pass) splitter. You can try the connection without changing the splitter first, but oftentimes, satellite companies install a splitter that have filters built-in to eliminate unwanted frequencies. After you check the coax line connection, be sure the antenna is facing the correct direction towards the towers and then do a channel scan on your TV using the remote.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Which cable do you use i have two
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes you can! I mounted my antenna to the existing DirecTV mount and used the existing coax. FYI, wasps like to build their nests in the hollow tube of the existing mount and dish, just put some tape over the holes while you are working.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.yes, quad shield RG6 coax is recommended and direct tv most likely uses that.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, I used my existing Directv cable wire and hooked it up to the antenna. I have a distribution box near by the dish and it sends signals to all of rooms that have a cable connection.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The antenna has a standard coax cable connection. If your dish network has a standard coax connector it should connect right up.
