CATV quality question in Rogers http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r23300680 en Wed, 10 Feb 2010 07:57:52 EDT Wed, 10 Feb 2010 07:57:52 EDT Re: CATV quality question http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23315404 sbrook : If they've got the time and materials they will.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23315404 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 15:18:00 EDT Re: CATV quality question http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23315356 Paolo : I thought Rogers gives you small cable lengths for nothing? I went to the nearest Rogers Plus store and exchanged my old one and they gave me a new one which was RG6, I also had the TV Technician make me a cable wire for the other room at no charge.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23315356 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 15:06:12 EDT Re: CATV quality question http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23305521 Tordek : Don't go to radio crap. They are useless. Their connectors fail quicker then a unconcisious skydiver.

Go to home depot and get RG-6 and compression PPC fittings. Or make life easier. Go to your local office and get some new jumpers. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23305521 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 08:58:39 EDT Re: CATV quality question http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23305161 Paolo : i just noticed some of the wires that came with my older stb are rg59.. but all the new stbs i bought in the recent have RG6.

to solve this, i just went to the roger's store and told them the wires were giving me problems or making te picture fuzzy and they replaced it and gave me the newer thicker ones.

how do u like dem apples bro?

If not, then it's probably RG59 quality too!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23303352 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:11:53 EDT Re: CATV quality question http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23303347 pulp39 : Excellent sbrook, thanks! I'm all good now fellahs and, yes, I am using an HDMI from the box to the tv.

I'm as old as my bones and a little older than my teeth!

The one labelled LL is supposedly RG6 standard, where the 20AWG is probably RG59 standard.

The lack of RG labelling is just a matter of the manufacturer's choice ... particularly when made offshore.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23303332 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:04:48 EDT Re: CATV quality question http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23303231 Paolo : 20 AWG is usually RG 59 grade, so if i were you, id give them to a neighbour or sometithing. The cable rogers usually supplies with your STB is a RG6 high grade cable with easy screw on connectors, try using this.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23303231 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 16:42:19 EDT Re: CATV quality question http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23303225 pulp39 : Of course, my bad, editing the first post.

said by HiVolt See Profile :

Then I wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole. Usually it will say RG-59 or RG-6. I would get new cables.
Thanks HiVolt, will do dat! :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23300708 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 09:05:57 EDT Re: CATV quality question http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23300704 HiVolt : Then I wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole.

wire 1: CATV20 AWG
wire 2: CATV CSA LL82959

Would there be a noticeable loss in picture quality using any of these wires? Should I not even bother calibrating the tv using these cables or is the new standard just more of a longer lasting, better insulation etc.... deal?

What is the proper code (CATV....) of today's cables anyways?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23300680 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 09:00:44 EDT
