Using TV cable for scanners?

Forgive me if this has already been discussed. Tapatalk gave me zero search results. Can a person use regular TV coaxial cable to feed multiple scanners? What would the drawbacks be? You see tons of TV coax around and plenty of splitters for far less than communications grade stuff. What I would ideally like to to is split my discone to 6 or 8 scanners. I could use TV coax jumpers to connect the scanners via adapters at the ends. What are your thoughts?
