I'm wanting to mount a vhf/uhf antenna in my attic and my house already has cable outlets in all 3 bedrooms and the living room. I'd like to be able to add the antenna into the same cables that are already run through the house, without compromising the integrity of being able to add a cable television service at a future date. I went up into the attic today and it seems that the one RG6 coax from outside is all the way under my attic floor as shown below

It appears to go into a hole where I'm assuming it's run into a 4-way splitter as the 4 RG6 coax cables are coming out of that same hole and running to their respective areas of the house.

I have absolutely NO idea what I'm doing. I have zero experience with anything electrical. Is it possible to hook the antenna into the main cable that runs to the splitter so the antenna provides reception to every outlet in the house? Will that have any effect on starting cable service in the future?
*on a side note... should I be worried about the cut blue wire showing in the second picture? I'm the first owner of this house and I sure as hell didn't cut it.
