Default Ferrite Bead Usage On Receive-Only Antenna

Hello:

Will be putting up an outside antenna, with a coax run-in to the upstairs of
my
house where the receiver is.

Antenna is for receive-only.

This receive antenna's coax unfortunately, here and there, will be in close
proximity to the coax cable
Comcast runs to my PC modem. Really hard to avoid some close proximity of
the
two, in spots.

It has been suggested that I buy some of those R/S ferrite snap over "beads"
to minimize any pickup of the receive only antenna from the Comcast cable.

Questions:

a. Do I want to place them on both cables, or just Comcast's ? Why ?
How many and where ?

b. Should they effect my normal received signal (30 MHz on down to
broadcast bands) in any way ?

Thanks,
B.
