I have been working in the field for well over a decade and am speaking from real world experience
I am sure there are plenty of exceptions to any 'rule' but doesn't change the facts that certain materials are not engineered to perform certain tasks - even if they sometimes can/do
fwiw - sat tv receivers use 13 and 18 volts
100% of sat installations REQUIRE 3gig swept/solid copper coax - no exceptions allowed
Around a decade? Ok
I guess I'll have to stop watching my Directv as it can't be working without 3 GHz swept/solid copper coax and 3 GHz barrel connectors.

How about posting the info from Directv and Dish stating that. I agree that RG-6 is a requirement but 3 GHz
quote:
It's important that you use RG6 cable due to the frequency of the digital signals it must carry. RG6 has the correct impedance (75 ohms) and acceptable signal losses at 950 to 1450 MHz.

It never ceases to amaze me the statements I see on this thread.
