im going to wire cable in a section of my house, and is it possible to have a RG59 connection into a splitter and then out in a RG6 coaxial? Are the cables different sizes? would i loose picture quality?
Thanks

As LONG as your cable is ALL RG-6 cable you won't have an IMPEDANCE MISMATCH.....
That can create ghosting in the RG-59 line.....and anything connected PAST the RG-59.
But the splitters really aren't any different....

Rg6 Vs Rg59

RG-6 has more bandwidth than the older RG-59. They are both "regular (75 ohm) coaxial cables", though. If (like me) you have a house prewired with RG-59, using RG-6 from your cable outlets to your TVs won't buy you anything.

Check with your television provider to see what they recommend.
Verizon FIOS installations are requiring RG59 for the best signal to the HDTV unit.

They have the same cross-section and the connectors allow you to mix and match.
BUT - you should stick with RG6. This works better for broadband (cable modem) and microwave signals (for Sat service).
