[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 488616, member: 199791"] When I last had my indoor dish up (a fair while back) I just use the cable I had as I didn't want to cut it down as I knew I was going to have to move house again someday, so basically, any decent long length should be better than just a few metres... :) Also, I'm sure it's been mentioned, double glazing often has metallic coatings that can interfere with and even block signals, so if your dish works perfectly OK outdoors, but performs poorly indoors, it's very likely to be your windows... :) My old house had single glazed windows so my setup worked quite well, but my current house has DG windows, and none of them face a useful direction or are blocked by trees, so I can't try them...:) Hope this is a help... :) [/QUOTE]
