Can someone kindly remind me what the consensus was for best coax to use
for TV outlets round the house?

CT 100, which I understand is no longer made, but there is a similar
replacement. It is triple screened, versus the single screen of the old
brown cable.

OK Bill. I think that has fully covered the subject:-)

Prices seem to have moved on a bit since you wrote that!

It would be interesting to know if coax cable does degenerate if used mainly
away from weather and animal damage sources.
Do you really need triple screening if the screen of woven copper is pretty
good. One of my main annoyances was that the brown or white single screened
stuff used to be much better than the more recent versions, ie much of the
newer stuff has very wide weave on the b5raid, but the original stuff was
very good in this area.

In my experience and in an RF rich environment, yes. It helps keep much
of the unwanted interference out of the coax.

The whole website needs updating. The trouble is, since I retired I've
been too busy.

Does it depend on whether you're only splitting the digital signal (ie
the aerial downfeed) or distributing analogue too (eg from a Sky RF-out
socket)?

I'd assume the former is less prone to local RF interference so cabling
wouldn't be so critical.
