Review on Satellite Broadband CORROSION PHAT SATELLITE by Eric Hanson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Using SOLID COPPER WIRE coaxial cable IS MUCH BETTER

I've read reviews that solid copper wire coaxial cable should be used for antennas compared to the traditional coaxial cable which is available almost everywhere and is just copper plated cable. So, for just a few dollars, I bought it. It says this is what directv and satellite companies use. While my reception is still not perfect (location in the valley, interference from the nearby municipal airport, and major construction for other channels coming out of the Dallas area), it's MUCH better. I had to replace my old antenna and try coax on the new antenna with the same reception as the old antenna. I then connected the new antenna to THIS solid copper cable and was very satisfied. Reception was better and I was actually able to catch some Dallas channels in the middle of the day that I hadn't been able to get before. Worth a few dollars more. I ordered 75ft thinking it was enough but realized I needed 20ft more. So I ordered the 25 inch jacks and wired them up along with the actual jack that said it was for HD TV. Worked great.
