Is it better to connect a digital cable box directly to a TV via RCA plugs rather than one coax cable?

If I connect a digital cable box directly to a TV via RCA (yellow, red, white) plugs rather than via the coax cable, does it make a difference in picture or sound?

It is always better to send video (yellow) than RF (coax). The cable box is already decoding the signal sent over the wire. If you connect the TV with coax, the box has to re-encode to RF to go on channel 3 or 4 and then the TV is re-decoding it. The less signal processing, the better your picture will be. If you have a better video output from the cable box which is compatible with your TV (S-video, component, or HDMI), that will give you even a better picture. Coaxial cable is always the worst.
