That would be correct.if my coax is grounded, and my antenna is hooked up into it, then the antenna is grounded too
In the context of UHF, what is a "directional coupler" and what is it supposed to accomplish?
Ideally, you need to bring the TV antenna in at the root of the cable tree, not a branch. The UHF signals generally don't move well from side-to-side across a splitter.
Just follow that wire to the splitter that's already there, (cable co installed??) Remove their 'input' lead and replace with the coax coming from the antenna.
Best to run antenna coax all the way to the 'split'. Could try 'injecting'into the 'cable' but think they'd complain. It likely will cause interference. A diplexer MAY also work, BUT without knowing exactly what frequencies are occupied in the cable, interference is a concern.
So now it's: cable>>>modem>>>splitter>>tv's
Make it: cable >>> modem--INet comps
and separately:
antenna>>>splitter>>>tv's
(maybe an A-B switch?? Antenna/Cable)
If running more than 2 TV's I'd be looking at distribution amp to replace the splitter. Hooking it up with a splitter first and determine if an amp is called for. I've had good results with the CM-3414 and CM-3418.
Not true with DOCSIS 3.0. It can go as high as 42MHz on the upstream and to just above 1GHz for the downstreamIIRR, your internet traffic 'in the cable' is DC to 40Mhz or so. Antenna signals are above 54Mhz to around 700Mhz. Cable television is from 54 to 1000Mhz. Clearing it and them supplying a filter would be the way to go. :up

It is best to physically separate the modem connection from the distribution system.
If you've already got a bunch of MoCA adapters, what's one more to bridge the router with the distribution network? The MoCA network isn't the issue. The issue is any other Verizon baggage that might come with it.I can't physically separate them because I use MoCA adapters to run ethernet over coax to all my Rokus, so I need the modem on the same line. And I can't install all new wiring throughout the house, either another coax or an ethernet, because I'm renting. I only really have permission right now to install Verizon FiOS, and I don't think Verizon will run an entirely new coax line setup just because I have an antenna.

It would be worth considering to make sure that you've got BSFs on every outlet that doesn't have a MoCA adapter first in line.
Yep. Physically remove all FIOS RF from the distribution network with a CAT5 link.This sounds great, and it looks like it will work without interference at all. Is that what you meant, harshness?
