Default Want to replace old flat tv cable with better coax.

Thanx, I'll try it this weekend. I have some high end coax cable ready
for the job. Only one more question... should I worry about the
quality of the balun transformer? The ones I have seen at Home
Depot/Lowes/Radio Shack look pretty flimsy. I know there is probably
nothing inside that should not get wet, but I still wonder...

The outdoor TV antenna baluns are sealed better to prevent moisture from
getting inside and degrading the components. They also have a rubber
boot to cover the coax connector.

Here are two URL's for Radio Shack TV antenna baluns. The second one has
gold plated connectors which should make it more reliable for outside use.
