    as the title says . The cable wire in my home is plugged into my analog TV through RF Connector , but can a S-video connector be connected to the same wire instead of RF Connector to connect into TV Tuner ?

    no you cant connect this way.
    if you have a scart socket on the tv set you can buy an adaptor that will accept an s video connector in to the scart socket.

    I do not know what are you trying to do, but any new TV cable converter will have S-Video output.
    Check this also:

  6. That's an RF modulator - i.e., it converts the switched S-video etc to RF for use with standard televisions.

    A challenge for the OP is (I assume) that whatever unit is found needs to be PAL, too.

    Also, the need for S-video can be questioned. The demodulated signal is composite so any cable box with S-video output will be generating it from the composite signal. If the goal is to connect the signal to a capture card that has both composite and S-video input, it can do the conversion instead of the cable box. This may widen the number of available options.

    Yes, a cable box.

    Explain more clearly what you are trying to do.

    RF cable is a 500MHz to 1GHz spectrum which requires a tuner of some kind to isolate one channel from ~100 (analog) to ~500 (digital) channels available on the RF cable. S-Video would be the output after the tuner tunes a channel.
