You likely mean that the picture looks softer, which is quite likely since
RF produces a softer image than S-Video (or even composite video).

The pixellation is caused by compression and is an integral part of the
signal you are receiving. (An S-Video or a composite video cable cannot
introduce pixellation.) So, if you see pixelation using S-Video, and not
with RF, then the S-Video is more accurately displaying the signal being
fed to it, even though the RF signal may be more pleasing to watch ;)
