I have had both cable and satellite before. In both cases a coax is run from the source to box that digitally decodes the signal, meaning that coax is transmitting a lot of data, often including high speed internet. Yet running a coax from the cable box to the tv only results in standard def picture. What gives?

It’s not the available bandwidth… it’s the security… HD content is almost always encrypted and while the standard (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-bandwidth_Digital_Content_Protection) supports multiple cabling options, adding ports adds cost, which TV makers tend to want to avoid.
