Default Question for electricians/Sattelite TV experts

I first fixed my sunroom yesterday and i ran the coaxial for sky digital through the same conduit as 2.5 twin & earth for the sockets. Will this cause interferance in the sattelite reception or do the cables have enough insulation to work ok ?

Its coper core with white insulation outside that, then steel braiding and black insulation on the outside. Not sure of the name of it.

As long as your using satellite co-ax. Cant remember its RG number.
It is sheilded so to be honest you should be ok.
