TV Coaxial cable - which ?

[toast1]

In two UK properties, I can't get some Digital channels, as the signal is weak.

But when I use an old TV coaxial cable, I get a full signal.

I've tried buying new cables, but they all produce a weak signal, even name brand ones.

 

The old cable looks ordinary, but always gives a great connection - what would I need to buy to replace it?


Thank you

if you are getting desired results with original cable, then why change it at all?

what cable models have you? 

 - RG58 / RG59?

 - RG6?

 

are you still using the original PAL connectors?

 - or the later model F Type ?

Can you explain some of this?

I am not familiar with any of these terms.
It looks the same as all others. 

 

I tried buying a few other cables, one Belkin, 2 generic off Ebay, all failed to provide an adequate signal.

 

I can get a photo of the cable in a few days.
It seems to be pretty standard, with moulded plugs, not manually added.

 

Thanks
