Moderator : you can post links to a web page that shows research, but not to a site that sells stuff. My earlier posts linked to (original) research, so why were they removed then ? I`ve raised a query with the moderators (2 days ago) but have not heard anything yet.

I would. I suppose it depends on ones definition of what a bodge is. To me a bodge is doing something in one way when that way is demonstrably not the best, particularly when 20m of even the best cable is only going to cost about £10 ! Let`s get a grip here, how much would the chap happily...

Satellite quality cable should be used for all RF applications, it isn`t just about loss, see this graph (assuming some ignoramus doesn`t remove it.....) http://www.aerialsandtv.com/cableandleads.html#CableLossTable It`s also about interference suppression, there`s research on that on the same...

Particularly with the advent of digital television, these days no one should be using "Low Loss" CoAx cable. Satellite quality cable (preferably copper/copper screened) should be used for all RF applications including TV reception. The price difference is small, particularly between the cheaper...

For some reason it seems that someone on here doesn`t like being told the facts about limiting impulse interference on TV reception. Apparently they think its SPAM, I`ve heard it all now. I have actually done research into this but I will refrain from putting a link to it in case its used as...

When I experimented with eliminating my cheap crappy (unscreened as well ! ) isolated surface plate I got an increase in signal of about 2dB ! That`s the increase you`d get from swapping from a medium gain aerial to a high gain type, so it`s significant. C4 teletext was always poor but was...

Simple question really, is there some secret to repainting doors and door frames when gloss paint needs days to fully harden off ! A few years ago I repainted my front door and screwed a batten in front of it so I could leave it a few inches open for a day and a half to dry. And this was in...
