The 1/2" aluminum TV hardline is cheaper than

VHF-UHF.
No one would use RG-11. The cable is normally solid
dielectric, and it is normally stranded. The stranded center
and solid dielectic are the main problems. You can't even
get good cheap F connectors for RG-11.
CATV systems use F11 style cables. It has a solid center,
foam dielectric, and a large variety of reliable CATV
fittings.
