[QUOTE="spiney, post: 143147, member: 192438"] UHF type coax cable, just to add ....... You can extend the "satellite dish range" of UHF only cable by using an (or several) in-line amplifier(s), this should work despite degrading the sat signal at each amp, but really not worth doing, much better just to get the correct cable! Wickes - and other - DIY stores sell RGU6 sat cable, which is for "indoor interconnect" (not waterproof!), not really for outdoor use, but you can use this if on a budget, as actual performance degredation over time is slow, and must be very bad to stop reception. Or just get the correct stuff, from sat suppliers, eg: [URL="http://www.cpc.co.uk"]www.cpc.co.uk[/URL] (and see nobby's links section!).. PS, for distributing Sky digibox RF out (tv aerial frequencies) around house, see [URL="http://www.tvlink.co.uk/"]www.tvlink.co.uk[/URL] , especially the various pictures there. Maplin shops sell (own brand) tv links, and SLX "link compatible" amplifiers, although at higher price than most websites (this - as Rolf says - should work on the existing wiring!). [/QUOTE]
