As mentioned, a dome and DTV is a good combo today (although you will not receive ANY of the programming in HD) but things are going to change sometime in 2019 when they drop SD broadcasts. No one is exactly sure what those changes will involve but it's seem logical to me that the domes will lose the ability to receive many channels.
As to what to with to make the change, they really are 2 separate an unrelated pieces of hardware. You "should" be able to use the existing coax from your current roof top antenna to connect to the T4 but otherwise you will just be looking to follow the installation instructions for a new installation. If your current antenna is a crankup style you will likely want to simply leave it there and install the dome nearby. You can let us know what kind of antenna you have now and we might be able to give you a bit more info.
