    Satellite or Coaxial cable

    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.

    Satellite or Coaxial cable

    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...

    Sorry about that then, I got pretty upset about it actually. I was, in fact I still am, up for arguing about this one with whoever it may concern. I don`t know if you`ve seen our site bit it`s even used by aerial installers, we do know what we`re tallking about ! Cheers.

    Satellite or Coaxial cable

    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...

    Use of screened wall plates and satellite quality cable.

    In answer to the moderator : Virtually every link on this forum (and indeed most forums) is to sites that sell stuff one way or another. On the post asking about CoAx v Satellite cable I put a link on to some original research on the subject. This research is unavailable anywhere else and if...

    Satellite or Coaxial cable

    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...

    Dear BS3036, do you know anything about why my additions to the threads on impulse interference on RF reception wrer removed ? I have to say I do know quite a bit about this subject and would be interested to know why anyone would think my views on it were "SPAM". Regards Justin Smith

    Use of screened wall plates and satellite quality cable.

    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...

    Isolated coaxial sockets?

    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...

    How do you repaint doors because gloss needs days to dry !

    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...
