This answer varies greatly depending on your setup. What type of LNB is on the dish? How many receivers will you be hooking up? What model are the receivers?
Again, I can answers the question but I would need several hours and MANY MANY pages to explain all the possible scenarios. If you want, you can email me with a few more details. I would be happy to help. shaneburnett@Yahoo.com

Does cable use satellite?
Cable TV doesn't use Satellites. They are two different services. Cable TV is a digital service where you get the services by using a cable installed by your cable tv provider in your area. The Satellite TV is the strong competition of Cable TV. It needs a satellite dish and a satellite to receive digital-TV signals from the providers.On the link provided, you will see the comparison of Satellite TV and Cable TV and why Satellite TV is the superior on both services.EDIT: Cable-TV does use satellites - but only to bring in the signal from other countries. It's fed to distribution equipment, which sends it down the cable to individual homes. For example - I have cable-TV supplied by Virgin Media - they broadcast content from other countries supplied to them by satellites (eg. SKY 1 which is an American broadcaster), and they send it down a cable to my home. Snakester1962 (Supervisor)

Can you link coaxialcable and satellite cable?
The short answer is yes and no. Yes you can if you are not passing HD satellite. All you need is 2 "diplexer(s)" (looks like a splitter, but isn't). at one end connect the satellite and cable. run the line to your tv, and split back to your satellite and cable. The Diplexer is labelled "tv" and "satellite".
