Rudi,
I don’t think the cable from the TV’s input needs to be RG6. It is using the receiver’s output, which should be channel three, standard modulation. RG59 would suffice there.
You will, however, need RG6 in the wall of the fiver, to connect to the outside Cable/Sat input. If that’s not RG6, (and you can simply remove the panel holding the connector that the TV’s cable presently runs to, inside the fiver, and see what it’s got for labeling,) then feeding the sat receiver from that input will probably fail.
I do know they made a point of telling us our 2005 input is RG6 equipped. Not sure if yours comes with that, or is still RG59. Does your outside input connector have “Cable/Sat” as a label? Or just “Cable?”
I can tell you how our TV comes out of its entertainment center. But it’s probably different in your floorplan. Most likely it’s secured on top and bottom with long screws that pass through the shelving it’s on.
Good luck!
Steve
