Perhaps the terms I used are not technically correct. My experience is as follows:- I bought a length of 10 metres of what I call ordinary TV cable, from my local hardware shop and used it run an extension to my computer so as to run Mythtv on digital channels. When I came to scan for channels there was insufficient signal strength to get a lock. So, with digital TV in mind, I replaced the cable with a length of so called sky cable and the signal strength was much better and Mythtv worked. The cross section of the two cables is quite different and I suspect there is a difference in impedance and is really nothing to do with the difference between digital and analogue signals signals, or is it?
