Hey everyone just looking for some help if ye could!!!
I bought the tv link yesterday in argos for linking up my sky in my sitting room to another tv in the house.
However it says i need a co axial cable and it'll have to be about 20 meters by the time i wire it to the other room.
Would any of ye know where i'd pick one of these up in Cork. i'd a quick look in Currys but they didnt have any.
And any ideas bout how much. in the pack it seems to include the co axial connectors but if i could buy a cable with these already attached it would make my life a bit easier!!!
thanks!!

Dwyers have all the cable and connectors you'd need. They sell 100 metre rolls. Ask the guy at the trade counter (very helpful) if you can buy the amount you need.

Price will depend on which grade of cable you buy. People here would recommend you buy the high quality stuff. It will be marked as CT100. The cheaper stuff will probably be marked as Sat cable or rg6.

F connectors are about 50 cent I think.

Worth having a general good look round the shop while you are there. When you see their prices you'll appreciate the mark up many other electrical and diy places are making.
