hd sky - any one got it?

[sense4all]

Could you please be a sweetie and describe the cable that goes from the dish to the back of box so that we can plan where to have it put. Putting a wooden floor down a couple of weeks before hd will be installed. Thanks in advance for any replies!

It's basically very high quality coaxial cable - PF100 is the specification. It should be foam filled, not air or hollow.

An example is here ; http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?cId=A331796&ts=01108&id=45894

You can get white, or black and maybe brown. More details on the differences here ;

You can use lower grade cable such as RG6 but it's best to stick with the Shy recommended type and a type that's CAI approved.
