Thanks Folkie, only question is; looks abit cheap? I already have a 'standard' cable just wondered if a high-premium priced one would word better?

That old chestnut. Well, without wanting to start another discussion on the merits of digital cables, have a look at some of the cables rated here by WHF and then get them from somewhere which will allow you to trial the cable for a period and send it back if you're not happy with it - if you don't think a premium cable is worth it, you then have the option to send it back for a refund.

Personally, I use a Chord Codac Silver Plus and am perfectly happy with the performance.

Thanks Professorhat, I was looking at theÿhttp://whathifi.com/Review/Supra-AnCo-coaxial/ÿIm guessing its the same story as with the HDMI cables as is with the coaxial ones? Up to the individual to decide.

That's always the safest place to leave it

Because from your other thread i assumed it was for an aerial fly-lead but the lead you linked to is an audio interconnect.

Indeed, I was assuming we were talking audio interconnects, not aerial cables...

Ahhh sorry to confuse you both, its for an aerial cable from sat to my bt vision and tv. Would this make a difference in signal and picture quallity at all or not?

Buy half-decent satellite cable and put aerial cables on the end (it's better shielded - often designated CT100).

As JD say's and indeed i did in your other thread just get some ct100,wf100 spec'd for digital/satellite installation's and a couple of co-ax plug's.
