[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1029995, member: 176704"] Kinda depends on: a) which sort of twin cable it is - could be twin CT-100 (if that exists?) , or might well be the smaller diameter CT65 which seems OK over short distances (the cable type should be printed on the cable sheath, but I think, both types are foam-filled - just don't use air-spaced cable like generic "satellite cable" or some much older types); b) how long the cable runs are - IMHO, 10-15m should be OK with either sort, but if longer than that then you will probably lose some signal with CT65 as compared with CT100. PS: regarding foam-filled cables, if you decide to change the cables then aim to get Copper cored, screened and sheilded cables , and avoid anything with aluminium in it because that is more susceptible to corrosion issues. FWIW, I would start with what you already have before thinking about changing the cables - you are at the beginning of a possibly "long road" and so don't try to jump too far (and spend too much time/money) too fast.
