Sounds like a Quad shield RG-59 or RG-56 would be of help in any of your wiring locations even if you go with the dish, because of all that RF around you. Sometimes just tightning the "F" connectors with a 7/16" wrench will really help.

Dish will use RG-6 - Dalancroft 10:04:46 09/24/02 (2)
Dish will be mounted on top of the house, then I'll run RG-6 in as short of length as possible to two set-top boxes -- one cheapo for the downstairs unit, and (eventually) one HDTV-compatible for the upstairs room in which sits my Panasonic 47WX49 HDTV-capable RPTV.
Thanks for the suggestions.

  Be sure to use GOOD cable. I went with Belden 1694A for outdoor use. Inside, 1695A is even better (teflon)
  - Will was thinking 1694A, but will check out 1695A. Thanks (nt) - Dalancroft 08:41:09 09/25/02 (0)
