Broadcast RF is nothing like RF through a cable. It's broadcast through the air.
Ok letââ‚Âà ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s take that a step further, once the FM RF signal is is received by an aerial it is sent to a stereo. Fine but what happens if you add another, and another to the same aerial. The signal gets weaker, and youââ‚Âà ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢re sound quality ends up crap.
Just my 2 cents

it was meant as a comparison not a direct reference
The point mate is that a cable network is made up of a combination of fibre and coaxial cable and designed in such a way that it doesn't matter whether 1 or 100 people are connected to it they'll all still receive the same level of signal that they were originally set up with baring a fault.
It therefore becomes your transmitter, be that a radio station transmitter or a TV transmitter. Oh and by the way you'll find that when you get down to the basic RF and IF without the carriers you'll find there less difference than you think
Once we leave the street cabinet though its a whole different ball game, the cable from the cab to your house becomes your aerial and yes if you connect too many STB's, modems etc you will get problems with signal levels.
