My System: Zone1, DSI8215 SkyHD, Thomson DSI4214, TF5000CI, Dreambox DM800 HD PVR - Nab BH0.12, TM-5200D, Gibertini 104cm, SNH-031, 36v Actuator, Vbox-II, 42°E to 30°W, Sling Media, Televes H45 Digital Processing Analyser, Satlook Micro+G2 NIT, Rover SDM 1s | I'd go for benchmarked cabling such as Tx100, Wf100......... Using the above cable, the losses are known (10dB @ 2Ghz). RG6 will work but not the best for the job and may have more loss at the higher end of frequencies. SM | ||

My System: TM6800HD, TM1000, TM600 Linux,TM5200, TM2200 motor, Triax TD110 dish + Fortec 85cm. Meter=Satlook Micro+G2 NIT | If you have the RG6 cable already, I would say try it, see how it performs. If is doesn't work very well, pay out for better quality stuff. I would never buy the cheap stuff in the first place though.  screwfix do pf100, for about £32 a reel by the way. | ||
