I have an older house and with it came a very convoluted cabling system for TVs in every room. We now use an OTA antenna mounted on the roof top and get pretty decent reception on the main TV (first TV after the antenna). With each subsequent splitter, the signal degrades and depending upon the day some TVs get few if any channels.
With the advent of ATSC 3.0 and it's wireless compatibility, will I be able to get an HDhomerun type box to connect to my main antenna lead, then run the OTA broadcast from that tuner through my router and use each TVs wireless function to connect to the OTA signal stations from the router? I would love to eliminate the hodgepodge of cabling under the house and eliminated the old cable system in the house.

Yes, that's exactly the one I've been looking at.
Just for clarity sake, the HDhomerun tuner(s) are the only piece that needs a coaxial cable for antenna hook up, the remainder of the TVs in the house use wireless to grab the HDhomerun signal right?????

That is correct, they use wireless to get the signal, or something such as a Roku, etc depending on what tv set you have. You should research that, to make SURE you'll be set if you buy one.

Thanks for the answers and suggestions MikeBear.
It gets damned confusing for a non-audiophile!!
