    Hi all,

    Anyone have a recommendation for coaxial cable, either a brand or reputable online store?

    Cheers

    This site goes into some detail about the best coax
    http://www.satcure.co.uk/tech/cable.htm

    However if you need a premium type cable you can get it on ebay
    http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Satellite-TV-Coaxial-Cable-15m-Webro-WF100-2-F-Connectors-CT100-Copper-Core-/390154324590?hash=item5ad7028a6e:g:U44AAOSwrklVCGOp

    But its pricey enough

    This is dead cheap http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001U4H0OE but its worked fine for a few long runs for me.

    Any point staying away from cca or going for quad Shielded?

    The run is about 50m, partially underground and we are 5km from an am transmitter which has line of sight to about 20m of the run

    To test that cheap stuff as couldn't be sure if I needed to mount the dish a long way from the house due to the hillside I put a connector on each end of the cable and connected the full 100m. I didn't check the signal strength but still got a picture. In the end I got away with a 35m run part underground and part alongside ESB cables but nothing else nearby to cause interference.

    I was ready to buy more expensive cable but didn't need to.
