Hi all, have move a satellite box to another room so need to extend the
cable...how's the best way to do this?

Not being flippant but how about another bit of cable and a couple of

coax
connectors?



I'd have done that for normal TV coax, but satellite has a much higher
frequency and therefore requires a high quality, lower loss cable and
connectors.

Yep, but the cable is readilly available everywhere and only pence more than
normal coax. And you can make do with normal coax connectors, technically
not as good but they're fine in practice.
