You need to use RG-6 from the Sat receiver to the LNB.RG-6 has greater bandwidth and lower frequency lose per foot than Rg-59 Better shielding and insulation and a larger center conductor to carry the 12V needed to power the LNB from the receiver.
Note that the 12V comes from the receiver and you must not use anything between the receiver and LNB that will inhibit the voltage. You can run RG-59 from the output of the sat receiver to other TV's without loss of or degraded signal....
