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

If you use any tape, (especially outside) all tape isn't the same.Most
of us have seen plastic tape unravel before.Electricians supply stores
sell a good heavy duty old fasioned kind of tape for wrapping electrical
connections and that kind of tape will last many,many years outside and
inside without unravelling and will remain waterproof too.There is a
type of paint on "tape" product available,but I dont remember the brand
name of it.You might want to check with some recreational vehicles
(motorhomes,camping trailers,etc) dealers and see what kind of tv
antennas they sell and also talk to some folks who live in trailer parks
and camping grounds areas about tv antennas.The folks in this news group
offered some very good information too.
