[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1018318, member: 369937"] 50 metres should not be that bad a run of coax, if your going to replace it then use some good high quality RG-6 quad shielded coax with a pure copper centre conductor, this would give you less DC voltage loss out to the LNB. Or for better results some RG-11 coax would be better. One thing to look for in the coax spec's is its signal loss at higher frequency's, the good stuff is rated out to 3 GHz, the less dB loss at this frequency the better signal you will have at the receiver. Most of these ratings is done at 1000 feet lengths, so just divide the loss in dB by 1000 and multiply that by 164 feet (50 metres) some are also rated in metres. [/QUOTE]
