I am moving my home theater and need to run new coaxe with longer runs. I have DirecTV with HD DVR. I want to upgrade the RG6 standard shield cable I have now. Each run will be in the neighborhood of 70 feet. I really didn't want to spend the $ on plenum or Belden 1694A cable. I was looking for a less expensive route. I did some surfing and came up with these two options.

The first doesn't have a solid copper core. The second is less expensive (per foot) but has a solid copper core. Which of these is a better quality cable? Is there a different cable anyone would recommend? Also will either of these deliver a high quality HD picture or do I really need to spend the additional $ on better cable?

Thanks

After doing a little more research it seems that Belden 7915A is the way to go for me.

as long as the signal in DB's is good you will notice no difference with either cable
