The TV aerial is up.
It's not, yet, connected to any TV.
The coax cable we'd intended to use turns out to be the feed for the Wi-Fi router.
So we need to run a second coax cable down to the living room TV, and we're hoping we can utilize the existing cable in the bedroom.
I seem to recall that TV coax and cable coax are actually of different impedance - one 50 Ohms and the other 75 Ohms.
ReplyDeleteIt may not make much of a difference if the signal strength is just right, but I would make the effort to at least check, if not necessarily change it out before testing.
Just get a roll of RG6 and go to town. All cable and TV/amplified antennas will work on it. The signals are now all UHF and above. Any 50 ohm is pretty much for Ham radio below 450 mhz and some test instrument leads.
ReplyDeleteSorry, last comment was mine. Been an EE for 50 years and do all my home cabling. Had to upgrade yet again when Commiecast pushed their signal above 1 GHZ
