Buy the best cable you can get. Triax make good quality stuff. In the ideal world you don't want joins. Best bet is to feed directly from the Aerial on the roof to the TV or to the co ax socket on the wall. Then invest in a quality pre made lead.

Don't waste your time with extension kits buy some twin screened (sat cable) and connectors, the pre made stuff is terrible for cable loss.

You can get this off the drum at wilkos

I think wilkos could try screwfix.

Or next time you pass a sky engineer or aerial , just ask him if he don't mind cutting some off. Offer him a tenner or something
I get this quite alot 9/10 I don't take the money as it's only about 80p in materials to us

Try city electrical factors. It's a shame you don't live closer I have a full drum of double screened coax in my shed.

CT100 or WF100 is what you want. They are one and the same thing, just different names depending on manufacturer.
