What are the basic differences between cable and satellite TV technology?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

The technology is virtually the same. The difference is in delivery. Most cable companies get their signals via satellite then distribute those signals over their cables. Satellite TV just puts the dish on your home and you get the signals directly, although your dish would be much, much smaller than the ones the cable companies use.

Location is one of the biggest differences between cable and Satellite Television service. Cable does not reach everywhere, but satellite service has fewer limits on location. Next, cable tends to charge more for high definition service and satellite services usually don’t. On the other hand, cable service can be more steady than satellite depending on your location and weather.
