I wasnt given enough white cable when i had my install in August.
After just purchasing a 42" LCD, and mounting it on the wall, i have too patch up, what white cable i had, with a male to female single splitter and then a 2 way splitter.
The picture is a bit fuzzy and there is a buzzing noise constantly now.
Can i purchase more 'White' cable from anywere, or will a satelite extension cable do the job?
Ideally i want to come from the socket in the wall around the door frame and then onto my box.

yes make sure you get good sat coax and proper sat splitter and f-connections.

I have the splitter, can i use Sat tv coax, and will the plugs be compatible?

You can buy larger screw on type f connectors if the ones you have are too small, try ebay or maplins.
