If Ernie doesn't mind, I'd like to expand a bit
on the explanation.
I never mind an expansion!
And all well said.
The runs are around 50',
and the RG-59 is adequate for these runs; picture
quality is fine.
The signals are digital, so the picture quality will indeed be fine until it starts to tile and break up. You might even get more distance out of RG-59 with digital than with analog because snow will start to show up way before the signal is too low to use. With a digital signal, the signal will be completely usable until the two or three dB of signal level difference where it totally falls apart.
