Using Cable Wire As Satelite Wire

[gunner]

I have a dish up and everything,
but in the room where i want my sky receiver i already have virgin media there,
could i cut the cable wire frm the outside and connect it to my Satelite dish?
or do i need to buy specific satelite cable?


will save alot of hassle like drilling an extra hole in the wall and etc.

It will work fine as long as its not a long cable run

If its 15-20 meters or more i would look at using WF/CT100 rather than the RG6 that Virgin media use
