You'll want something fairly decent. Pf100 from Screwfix should be OK for cable use, approx £31 for 100m.

RG6 is digital cable rated up to 2Ghz and is very similar to what VM use.

There are some issues using CT100/CT125 Air-spaced cable, it's not even recommended by Sky any more, they suggest HF109 instead.
