Male To Male Cable Dropping DTT Signal From Outside Roof Aerial

jj880

I did search but didn't see this exact issue posted.

All my FHD channels disappeared last week. I retuned and got 30 tv channels with poor signal. Not great. Eventually figured out that the cable from the wall to the TV needs held up to carry a good signal. Held it up and retuned. Got 170 tv saorview / freeview channels (Im on the NI border) and all FHD channels showing good signal.

So the cable is faulty or not up to it anymore. Or its allowing interference from something. Maybe 4g.

Whats the best type of cable for this so I dont get any signal interference no matter where it sits behind my tv? Black 1.5m male to male if possible.

I use screened coax (designed for satellite use) everywhere now - some older leads probably aren't up to the job - I sent all sorts of nasties to the cable recycling gods when I moved last - some of the sort that were used 30 years ago to connect the VCR to the TV (unscreened with braided core) don't really cut it. Shielded wallplates are also nice to haves, particularly if you're in a marginal signal area.

Something like this be good enough?

Yeah, thats the stuff. Obiously it also depends on the connectors, but the reviews seem ok

Use F type connectors, with a Belling Lee [or whatever its called now] converter to F type for connecting to the telly directly.

Make sure the version of F type connectors match your cable.

Some of the F type to RF connectors themselves though are of poor quality - particularly some of the L shaped ones that I've tested, which create worse loss than decent shielded RF type plugs/sockets. I've learned that it pays to buy quality cable and quality connectors… the additional cost is minimal compared to the headaches that you get from skimping a few pence/cents

The F connectors are cheap but it is certainly worth buying from a reputable source. The F type are very simple, particularly the screw-on type, but make sure they match the satellite cable being used.

The Belling Lee ones are appalling and should be avoided if possible. They are designed for a cable type that is no longer being used (or should not be used).
