Beaver, UT -

Cable Television actually is recognized as starting in Pennsylvania in the late 1940's by a television repair person by the name of John Walson. Mr. Walson and his wife Margaret, ran a small company called Service Electric Co. during this time. They sold, and repaired TVs and other home appliances in the city of Mahanoy, or Mahanoy City, Pennsylvania, and surrounding areas. The terrain in the area is very mountainous, and television reception is bad area. Some of Mr. Walson's customers complained about poor reception because the signals were being blocked by the mountains. Mr. Walson erected a large pole with an antenna on it and strung antenna wire on the ground (for the most part) and hooked up people he knew. History was born.

Is cable TV cable the same as the cable for satellite dish cable?

In the USA, now days it is. Before there were antennas to get TV signals from the air, and you could only get ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS. Then came cable, wire and dish cable. Now there is only cable; dish and cable linkage. There is virtually no more antenna TV signals, and there are thousands of channels.
