Default What kind of coax do I have?

I don't know if this is the right place to post this but here goes. I just purchased a HBU-33 antenna,Channel master 9521 rotor and rg-6 to go from the antenna to where the coax enters my house. My question is I dont know what kind of coax is in my walls of the house. I had the home built 22 years ago and they used a tan colored coax in the walls for hooking up to cable tv.

What is this coax? is it good enough to hook into or do I need to run new? If I can use it I would be very happy as it is already in the walls so it would be less work.

Thanks,
Roger

It'll be RG-59, since it was used for analog cable.
