..... I need to install some cables now, as I will no longer have access to
the cable route in a few weeks, and I have not yet persuaded SWMBO that it
is an essential purchase.

So:  What cable is best?
I already have SKY so can reuse existing cable for one lnb, but am happy to
replace with higher quality if it's worth the effort.
I have heard that some sky installers are using some sort of twin core stuff
@ brand new installations - is this any good?
Is it available?

Anyone know of a cheap source of quality sat cable?

Also, it's bad enough that for 6ft of the run, I have power & cat 5 cable
next to each other, but now the sat cable will be in the same too - is all
this SAT traffic likely to interfere with CAT5 signals?  Or indeed, is mains
noise likely to affect the sat signal in the same way that it can affect
CAT5?

Finally, how many runs do I need for SKY+?
My understanding is that it is a QUAD LNB you get, but only 2 of the outputs
are used - does this mean the others are redundant? 
Is there any value in running cable for all four?


cheers,


Tony
