Cable from dish advice

[admin_exported]

I am changing from Sky to Freesat and adding an additional TV. Do I need a special cable to connect to the 2nd box for HD? The current TV is full HD (cable was installed by sky, before HD was available) as will be the 2nd TV so I don't want a cable which can't convert the signal to its full potential or does the cable not matter? The 2nd TV will be approx 13m from the dish too, I have read that the cable length can effect the picture quality, is this true?

Thx for any help.

Your current cable will be fine,the same cable is used for SD and HD installations,

For the additional TV, just make sure you use good quality 75ohm double screened satellite grade cable, such as Webro WF100 or similar.
