Save me climbing up on the roof to look lads (I dont have a ladder currently)

I have a VHF only aerial on the roof at the moment with outlet points wired into each bedroom and the lounge. If I replace this with a UHF aerial will I be able to use the existing cabling that is there? Will the new aerial connect straight up to where the VHF one was i disconnect?

Don't see why not.

If its the lower quality RG58 you may strike some loss. But its likely to be RG6 if it was done properly in the first instance. A lot of antennas use to be UHF/VHF combo as we used both
