R value for the coax to my Tailgaiter
Hooked up my tailgaiter to the TT wire run and ran a short coax to the Tailgaiter from the exterior feedthrough. Tried to get it going but wire got very hot. Why is the R value in the house Coax diffe...

R value? Normally that refers to insulation.
Satellite cable should be high grade RG-6, Now if you have 59 and the antenna gets power via the coax, and it's a "Automatic" antenna, that can warm it up a bit (Smaller wires) but if the wire is getting hot, something is wrong.
OR.. Something is in direct sunlight.. Had that happen once, a 30 amp lien delivering perhaps 5-10 amps peak was too hot to touch.. Till I got to the part that was in the shade.
