Will RG-6 work better than RG-59.
Well, both cables come in a range of qualities and the best RG-59 is about the same as the worst RG-6 but on the more common quality of cable RG-59 has four times the loss per foot of RG-6. so the answer is YES.
However a better question might be "How much differnce will it make"
For the length from antenna to roof, You won't notice it
Likewise in many motor homes the switch to roof, and the switch to main TV you won't notice.
The front swich box to the rear TV in my 38' er... I am sure I will notice when I do the upgrade.
