Default Extending satelite cable


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

ta

Steve



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.

Steve



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.



Well if that's the case i will try my local Focus store.

cheers
