JackA Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I think you'll need either a filter and / or a signal amplifier..also isolating the cable from other signal sources might help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisailer Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 When the tech hooked up my cable to my TV he told me that the cheap white coax cable I bought from Lotus was no good and gave me a thick black coax that made a huge difference in reception.

stgrhe Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Poor quality coax cables will give you a poor standing wave ratio, which will clutter the signal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderpuff Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 The coax should be marked RG-6 , can be white or black. It has a layer of foil over the dielectric for better shielding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
