Just curious why you are replacing the RG59? Were you getting a bad
picture? Is it for a cable modem?

It is still possible to get HiDef TV with RG59. Although the
performance not as good as RG6, with a strong signal RG59 should work.

With Rogers digital it MUST be 100% sheilded RG6 throughout, or you
get pixelation

Good question... We tried to go with the Comcast Triple Play package
in August but the phone kept dropping out.
The Comcast tech found that we were losing 45 db from where the cable
entered the house to the office where the phone sat (+25 to -20).
Even with an amplifier on the line and him replacing all the ends, we
only got to -10.
He blamed the rg59; a neighbor who's an EE figured it had to be the
horseshoe nails once I got in some of the crawlspaces and found them.
My neighbor figured the horseshoe nails were messing up the shielding.
If I could get the office cable free, I'd been planning on doing a
home run of rg6 all the way back to the source but have been having a
heck of a time getting that office cable free.
