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

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

Yep, seriously, if its only between a couple of rooms and not a 50m run of
cable virtually anything will carry the signal albeit with degradation in
quality. But, on a short run you will be pushed to notice it. Sat. cable
can
be picked up by the metre in most good electrical shops and connectors are
pence. £10 for the whole lot max.


Only rolls of 100m at local Wicks, will try focus this weekend!

cheers
