Hey guys, I'm trying to lead the Coax wire outside my room to the coax network in my house. However I don't know where to wire the coax to. I have one box outsidewhere I'm pretty sure is where I have to run it, but I want to make sure that this will work before I take action. Here are some pictures:

I plan to put a male Coax end on this so I can wire it to this box: http://imgur.com/a/sm8Ce (on the outsie of the house)
and theoretically I should be able to use Coax this way.
However, I have one doubt. As you can see, there is another Coax plugged in on the other side and I know that it must be split somewhere, as it serves the only TV running in the house and also somehow runs to the back of the house to connect to the router (I'm moving the router to my room). My doubt is that I don't know if there is some sort of other box somwhere that I should run my Coax to instead, and that the coax plugged into that box might be what it's running to (I've heard people call this the "distribution jumction", however I don't think this applies since my wire leads directly outside). I honestly don't entirely know what I'm doing, everything I've learned about Coax and cable networking, I learned today. Thanks for any help!
