RG59 coax cable is house cable used for installation of basic cable and for connections between TV, VCR and satellite. RG6 coax cable is a stronger grade of coax cable that is used for satellite transmission.

Why use an RG6 cable?

It uses the right compression that will regulate the proper voltage into your receiver.
