Default replacing tv cables and arials

Hi all.
I bought a ALBA freeview box that wasn't picking up ITV/ITV2 and ITV3 and
probably a few others.
I took it back because it had a major fault.
I bought a new sagem receiver which displayed a signal strength
between 23 - 27 but this doesn't receive the ITV channels either.
Im on merseyside so can anyone say if their freeview box has
picked up these channels and what the signal strength they are getting.

Anyway, I've decided to call decent aeriel fitter and have the best
components/cables
to replace the old.
However, I would'nt know what a good or bad cable looked like to save my
miserable
life so I'm going to buy it myself and the monkey man can fit it for me.
So what spec of cable should I be looking for?
I had a digi aerial fitted last year but I probably need another one because
I want it/them
to feed 5 rooms in the house.

All manner of advice and tips required.

Thanks.

Arthur
