Hello Steve, Well I need that length of cable to reach the SGC Auto tuner,
if I bring the unit nearer to the house I get a lot of RF. if it is the
coax then how would I work out the right length? I am very grateful for
all the help you are all giving me on this problem. Many thanks for all
the help it is very much appreciated.
