HDMI is a connector standard designed fo rboth HD and SD video. It will carry both audio and video signals within the cable so it provides a single cable interface between equipment. It might be worth mentioning that DVI, the digital computer display interface that is gaining popularity is compatible with HDMI other than the fact that DVI does not carry audio. HDMI to DVI cables are available to connect computers to television displays. Therefore, any HDMI cable that has a DVI connector at one end or the other will not carry audio.
So that other signals, such as a magnetic field, don't interfere with the cable signals.
S-video cables carry two video signals. One carries brightness information (the Luma signal) and the other carries color information (the Chroma signal). Together they deliver a complete color picture. There is no audio carried by the cable, either as a separate signal or imbedded in the video signals. To get audio, another cable or set of cables will be needed. There are some multi-pin connectors that carry not only vide but audio and control as well. The SCART connector which is commonly available in Europe is one such example. This connector can carry a variety of video signals, two channel audio and some control lines as well. Most of the analog multi-pin connectors are being replaced by HDMI, a digital connection that carries all signals in a digital encoded format.
Ferrite rings around cables are there to filter out unwanted high frequency signals that can cause interference to the wanted signals in the cable, or to prevent the cable from acting as a transmitting aerial that might affect other nearby systems.
Yes, the larger cable can carry more load (current) than the other cable.
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)
On Comcast it's 63, but it may be different for other cable services.

The Cable Connection lets you share files with other computers. Also a printer can be shared by using certain ports on the computer or by the use of a cable.

Time Warner Cable offers packages that can include telephone calls, cable TV, the internet and home security services. Wireless services are also available.
Here is a step by step explanation of the workings of cable television.All around the world, a multitude of television programs are produced and broadcast.Satellites which orbit the earth's path are at a fixed position some 22,300 miles above the surface of the earth. Television programs from across the globe are transmitted to these satellites.The signals are then sent back down to the earth to the local cable satellites serving each area.Many miles of cable network are installed either underground, or on the same utility poles which carry your regular telephone and electric services.The control center of the cable television companies, known as the 'head end', processes the satellite signals in combination with the signals from the local television stations and other such resources.Finally, these signals are relayed into your homes through the extensive network of the previously laid cables.This provides a cable outlet in your homes. To then access the cable television services, you need to subscribe to a cable company which will then connect a simple coaxial cable or an RF cable from the wall outlet to your television sets. You then have to program your cable ready television sets to receive the cable channels. In case you do not have a cable ready television (essentially a newer model) then you need to install a device called a converter box, and you can then receive cable television with the help of the converter.All this helps cable television to bring you more channels from around the world instead of limiting you to local channels. In cable television, the signals are sent through cables and not through the air, thus enabling much better quality of reception than off-air reception of local television. The television signals, being via cable, are not disturbed by trees, buildings, or other surface impediments.Cable television is thus brought into your homes and the cable television companies can offer you many international channels in addition to your local ones.
