Which Coax do I need to Install Sky Sky HD

When Installing sky you will need a twin shotgun coax cable.


What is "Shotgun" coax cable.



Its a term given to a twin coax cable that looks almost like the end of a double barrel shotgun.


The cable can be bought in varying types, for use where a twin cable is required from a satellite LNB to your Sky Digital or HD receiver or where you require Satellite reception in 2 rooms from 1 dish.


What is considered the best coax cable brand is Webro who are a National Quality assured company to ISO 9002 standards


There are a few types ot twin coax cable, of which Sky recommend WF65 OR CT63which is great for most installations.


If you are like myself and like to go one step further keeping those all important losses to a minimum, then


WebroWF100 Twin Satellite Coax Cable should be your choice



Comparisons of the twinsat shotgun cable are shown below
