RE: TV aerial - multi room.

["Young, Jeff" <Jeff.Young@xxxxxxx>]

The Xm below is between 15m and 40m.  What is really weird is my old setup
worked really well.  This connected the dvd+vcr to the amp/splitter input (
via 40m ) which was then distributed round the house over 4 separate coax
runs of between 15m and 40m.

I am using the following cable

CA PF100W

If you just connect the dvd via 40m of cable to an amp/splitter via Xm of
cable - sockets the picture will be rubbish.

60m+ of cable (what kind of cable?) using RF is guaranteed to not give
60m+ you a
good picture.
