need to buy some coax cable

[ashtonjay]

is the cable for cable tv the same as satellite cable?
i need to buy some from somewhere cheap
any recommendations?

i used CT100, as i have some spare from my satellite install, works no bother here. quite easy to get hold of from the likes of maplin, and they sell twist on F connectors for the ends of it too.

Maplin is overpriced. Try ebay. Wf100 or pf100 or similar will do the job.

[georgiagrrl]

maplin might be a bit overpriced, but they tend to be local, and useful if you want / need something quicker than waiting til the new year for things to be posted.
what are teh chances of getting anything bought off ebay at this point in time, this year? it'll be into 2009 before it arrives, which might be far from ideal. which is why i suggested maplin rather than mail order.

Still wouldn't pay Maplin's extortionate prices. I'd rather buy a 100m reel from a wholesaler or Screwfix, and sell the rest on ebay. ( or use it in my case)

i;m the same unless i need it in a hurry. bought an f connector in maplin ysterday. thought i had more spares than i did :/
