You will either need a composite(not component) cable or a HDMI cable. I think you can use S-Video but S-Video doesn't compare to HDMI or composite.
There is no difference in the picture quality. You simply need to purchase the cable for the application that you have. If you have a normal Blu-Ray, HDTV and Cable or Satellite HD receiver, a HDMI 1.3 cable is the right type. For 3D televisions, purchase a 1.4 cable.
Yes, Its the same type of cable used by satellite TV installers.
A satellite receiver can be aimed in any direction if it's a swivel type of receiver or a hand held type of receiver. A mounted or fixed receiver cannot because it hasn't been designed with the capability to change direction. Usually a good receiver for televisions, telescopes, and other devices will have the ability to change their position.
What type of cable, for what type of accessory?
Cables are not used, the satellite emits radio waves
What kind of upgrade are you trying to do?, most upgrades are taken through the satellite stream. if your trying to change the fimware on the receiver then you would need a jtag and a serial cable, there are lots of websites that can give you the information you need and the schematics for building your own. Just Google jtag. Hope it helps. Karp.
Satellite TV uses microwaves, which are a type of electromagnetic wave. These microwaves travel between the satellite in space and a receiver on the ground to transmit television signals.
If I'm understanding your question correctly, it does matter what type of satellite dish you get to go with a particular satellite receiver such as a Dish Network receiver. Even the type of satellite receiver or programming selection can require a different type of Dish as all receivers pick up different satellites in orbit. Dish Networks new receivers, such as the Vip 722 and Vip 922 require a 1000.4 Dish. If you meant what company to go with, do your homework and shop around. Make sure you understand the promotional price that you will get initially, and then what your cost will be when the promotion ends. In my opinion, Dish Network has the best deals around.
The answer to this question depends upon what type receiver, TV, and cable you are using between the receiver to your TV. Depending upon which cable is used, the TV would be on channel 3 or 4 if using a coax cable (screws on), and input setting with an RCA (yellow, white, and red) cable, component (green, blue, red, white, red) cable, or an HDMI cable. See which type cable you have going from the receiver to the TV and then try the channels or the input settings with your TV remote.
Satellite grade coaxial cable. This has a braid and foil sleeve to lower losses from dish to decoder. F plugs are twisted on at each end after trimming.
Tv signals are a type of wave form. They bounce from the source, to a satellite in space, down to your dish. Then the receiver box translates the wave into the sound and pictures you see.
