What type of cable should I buy?

[shanz]

Hi all,

I'm going to install a new freeview ariel but an not sure of the cable to use. I have a full reel of cctv coax - is this any good or should I buy a more suitable coax?
What Ohm cable should I be looking for?

Cheers

Normal TV coax is fine mate

Normal TV coax is ok but remember the better the cable the better the signal

that isn't quite right the signal is more important I am watching a "46 samsung 3d tv with an Ariel in the loft and 40 year old 75ohm coax cable and to be honest the picture is as good as the sky hd picture from my satellite set up on all the terrestrial channels
