I have a sinking feeling about this.... :(

I am about two thirds of the way through retro-fitting Co-ax cable for
video distribution, and I have been using Maplin's cheap and cheerful
White Co-ax.

The longest run I have in the house is 7m, from my wiring closet up
into the loft, then down again into the living room.

Question is: am I wasting my time with this cable, or is the quality
likely to be okay over short runs? I decided to do the most awkward
runs first, so I am hesitant about ripping it out :(

As a semi-mitigating factor, I am about six miles away from the
Black-Hill transmitter, and can get pretty good reception by sticking a
coat hanger in the back of my TV!


Ian.
