I had my house recently rewired by my girlfriends brother who is an electrician. I have NTL coming on Friday to install our digital cable TV and broadband and I have to add some cable into a room he forgot to do. Electrician lives miles away so cant look at it so I will do add cable myself I just need to be sure I use the right cable.
Electrician says he has used RG59 cable, though another lad that looked at it said its RG6. Electrician wasnt sure if its RG59 or RJ59 looking on the web it seems RJ59 cannot carry a digital signal.
Whats the difference between RG6 and RG59 and should either carry the NTL digital signal ok, and would RJ59 (though I doubt it is this as he clearly said it was satellite cable) do the same?
Thanks
