Most times they are the same but a satellite signal needs to be carried by RG6 cable it is a heavier gauge wire then say RG59. Regular or analog cable signal is sometimes carried by RG59 but digital cable should use RG6. +++ The primary specification is not conductor size but the impedance and capacitance of the cable.
Is satellite or cable television a better option?
When it comes to satellite or cable, these days determining which is better is dependent largely on two main factors: Channel availability and location Some locations are not suitable for receiving a strong satellite signal which can result in channel/image loss. Some channels which are available on satellite are not available on cable.
Is reception from live satellites clearer than cable tv reception?
Generally satellite reception is better than cable even when the two are both sent digitally. A satellite signal transfer is more direct and therefore has less chance of interference. The cable signal travels through many feet of wire and connection points. These provide a greater chance of interference. The only time the opposite is true is during bad weather when the satellite signal can degrade.
