7m shouldn't be a problem for DVB-T (& FM/DAB/UHF/etc). More of an
issue
with Satellite signals, as they are much higher frequency.

I always use high quality foil and braid screen, foam insulator
"CT100"
coax no matter what signal it's carrying though, so there's always the
option of multiplexing in higher frequency stuff if I want to. A 100m
roll should cost no more than 30 quid. Might as well run a couple of
spares... :-)
