Hell Everyone,
I am wondering if anyone knows how much of an impact the quality of coaxial cables have on HDTV signal strength.
There are currently 3 TVs using the same cable feed (2 HDTVs and 1 standard digital as well as high speed internet.)
Now last week when I purchased myself a new HDTV, HDTV cablebox and speaker set I had problems with many channels, some not coming in, others get scrambled up / distorted.
Changing the coaxial cable from an older skinnier one to a more recent fatter one from the splitter to my cable box resolved many of the issues, but this wire is not long enough to properly 'hide' in the house. So I replaced it with another I had stored but then again I am having some issues with reception but to a lesser extent.
Basically my question is, will buying a gold-plated coaxial cable have a good chance of improving the quality even more?
Is it rare that a coaxial cable can effect reception so much?
Is there something possibly wrong I should know about?
Ive got a hdmi connection from the hdtv box to the tv
Thanks for the insight.
