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)

Depends which connections you would like to do. In most cases you are unable to use multiple component or HDMI connections at the same time. In this case, your only option would be to use a satellite splitter & satellite cable that looks similar to coax (cable that the cable providers use).
