My parents have a new sat box and they want to take one of the cables from the splitter we're using for analog and they want to put it into the satellite splitter we have and run Freeview from it.
Now we got Sky UHF back when it came to Southland ('94) and from what I've been reading tonight it would seem that back then we were using RG59 coax and now days it seems RG6 is the new standard for cabling.
So what disadvantages are there for running the RG59 cable into the satellite splitter? I've been seeing the word "loss" bandied around and I have no clue what that means so could someone please break it down into layman's terms for me.
