For Dish Network, we use RG6 coax cable to allow a higher frequency range for the satellite signal from the dish to your receiver. Any coax cable not rated at RG6 could affect the signal.

Does a coax tv cable have electricity?
coax television through a cable company in a home should not have any power on it if it dose it might be coming from a TV or a VCR or some sort of coax tuner on a unit satellite on the other had dose run voltage on there line to work the dish properly
What is the best T V coax to run threw out your home?
RG-6 is the best cable to run.
Can thin coax be used instead of standard coax for a home tv?
Probably, for short runs. It really depends on the impedance of the cable (it should be 75 ohms), that cable's internal capacitance (in feet) the distance and the frequency range for which it's being used. Your best bet is to use RG-6 or RG56.
Can you get cable set up in a mobile home or do you have to have satellite?
Many people have cable service into mobile homes.
Which home phone and internet company has the lowest rate in Plano, Texas?
In Plano TX your best value will come from Time Warner Cable. You can also try satellite internet.
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 coaxial cable electrocute?
Yes, under certain circumstances the coax can carry sufficient voltage and current to be lethal if you make contact with the center conductor and ground, and the voltage enters your body. This might happen if you chance to contact the main trunk cable either coming from a downed aerial line or from an in-ground pedestal. In practice, the coax in the average home does not carry any appreciable voltage, unless coax-based home phone service is present - and then the ring voltage might be sufficient to shock you if you are in contact with the bare conductors.

You have cable box DVD wsurround sound all connected to tv you want to add the vcr to this and be able to tape from cable what is the best way to connect the vcr in with the rest should you run coax?
You unhook the connection from the cable box to the TV and connect it to the VCR input. You purchase a short cable and install it from the VCR output to where the cable was connected to the TV. The TV will get the cable box signal through the VCR with no problem when you are not using the VCR. If the cable box was connected to the surround sound or Home Theater and then the TV then connect the cable box to the VCR and then the surround sound or home theater.
What are the basic differences between cable and satellite TV technology?
satellite cables and TV cables are the same to a point. the difference in the too are is the TV cable a RG59 or a RG6 RG59 will not work with satellite because if the smaller center conductor with satellite it pushes power were it will end up destroying the center conductor RG6 witch is in newer homes is ideal for both satellite and cable RG11 is used with TV cable from usual the box / tap outside to houses usually running over 300 ft depending on the DB coming from the starting location
How does the TV show get to your home?
TV programming including commercials come to most homes by either cable or satellite transmission.
What are some benefits of cable television over satellite television?
The benefits of cable over satellite is mainly the contract. With cable you are not forced to sign a 1 or two year contract to be able to watch tv. You will not have wires hanging all around your home with cable which can be annoying. Another thing is you can watch the same cable in many different rooms without having to rent additional cable boxes for other tvs. For cable television, you need only the cable box to connect the coaxial cable from the wall to your television. With satellite television, you need the receiver as well as the dish. Cable television will generally continue to be viewable during inclement weather, while satellite television will often go out during storms. With satellite television, you may periodically need to replace or reset the dish, as it can be knocked from its position or damaged.
