HDTV - coax cable matter?
Hi,
I have two dishes feeding 1 HD receiver (will soon buy) with 4 satellites with 1 DisEq (Eutelsat W2, Hotbird, Astra 19 & 28). Currently I use standard coax cable to connect LNBs to DisEq to receiver. Is this ok for HD quality? Is there any rule on the strength of a signal (quality %) for HD? Any threshold below which you can forget about HD? thanks for sharing your experiences! |

Re: HDTV - coax cable matter?
Best use HF100, HF109 or equivilent for HD signals as normal coax has too much signal loss over long runs

Re: HDTV - coax cable matter?
thanks for the answer!
Ok, I already have a simple cable installed (was done during renovation a year ago). It is 8m long and goes in the walls. I tried pulling it (it's in a tube), but these coax cables are not flexible, the cable just doesn't move... So, given that, I just wanted to know if it makes sense to get an HDTV receiver if I have a cable that is not suited for an HD signal or signal is not strong enough to pull HD quality through... is there a resource out there that talks about all these HD requirements?.. |
