[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 527653, member: 256551"] It depends on which simple white cable from Maplins it is. Proper double screened 75 ohm satellite cable needs to be used. The satellite cable that the likes of B&Q sell should be OK for that length. I prefer to just use wf100 or equivalent just to make sure though. Maplin sell FT100, which as far as I know has similar performance to wf100, but Maplin is way too expensive. Cut lengths of wf100 can usually be got for around 50p a metre. The cable should look something like the picture below, but with copper foil ideally. Robbo:) [/QUOTE]
