[QUOTE="Topper, post: 401117, member: 186250"] Welcome to the forum kaan46 Presumably when you say old cable I assume you refer to standard TV cable. If it is standard then it will have a core containing air gaps instead of a foam dielectric as with satellite cable. Often people trap this cable under furniture or going round a corner too tight causing the cable to flatten or put the wrong size cable clips on and end up flattening the cable against a wall thus causing signal losses. I would suggest opening the connectors and ensure that the central core is still connected properly and if necessary totally remake the connections. If any insects have laid eggs in the cable or are living in the air dielectric core this will also cause great losses. Whoever advised you was in my opinion not correct as an old piece of cable may have a history that you are not aware of. Having said all that it also depends on the length of the cable run but you will never get the same picture quality as with a scart lead. [/QUOTE]
