best Coaxial satellite cable
hi all,
whats the best Coaxial satellite cable to get, im going to install a new dish as my current dish is blocked now by a big tree so i need to move it round the other side of the house. so whilst im at it im thinking of resuing the existing quad lnb or upgrading it to an octo lnb, so ill be running 4 or 8 cables, the runs will be about 10~15 meters but i want a high quality cable.
thanks

I think you'll find that providing you get copper cable you wont have any issues in terms of cables. I have found however that the twin cable tends to give a poorer signal than single cable. You are aware that you will require the right equipment to relocate a dish including a good satellite meter? (those cheap ones arent particularly great)

WF100 Twin is the best (affordable) twin cable available. Comes in black or white. Single WF100 comes in 6 colours.

Re: best Coaxial satellite cable
Since the actual 'front-end' of the receiver is the LNB, the quality of the co-ax you use will only affect the maximum distance between the dish and the Sky box. Just about any reasonably priced cable should be able to accomodate a 15 metre run.
