Hi there,

i'm looking at trying to add another (BOX) in the bedroom but don't know what sort of cable i will need to this?

i'm not sure if this in the right section so sorry if it's not.

Thanks

75ohm coax. virmin use a rg6 with a foam dialectric but over a short run normal aerial coax will do the job.

Thanks rawsy

i'm going to need at least 15m of cable, so would i be better of using RG6 cable?
