Re: Moving Tivo box...to the shed! Cable lengtheing query

Sorry to bump this back up. I'm finally getting somewhere with this shed build and am just about ready to do the tivo cable fitting.

There seem to be so many conflicting posts around saying which type of cable you should or should not use. Could someone with a clue help me out here. The cable will be going about 20 meters from the virgin wall box to the tivo box in the shed/office. It will obviously be running outside (tacked to a wall).

What type of cable should I be using here? I've seen people say to use PF100, RG6, PF100, CT100, etc. What should I be going for, and why? Whats the difference between them other than some being hellishly expensive and some being dirt cheap? Obviously there must be some sort of signal quality difference but I'm stumped as to which one I should go for. Ideally I dont want to have to spend £50+ on a length of cable!

Cheers
