Once you get a good grade of RG-6 with the foil and braid, does the quad
shield cable really do anything for the home TV usage ? I think it is
all just some hype just as the Monster cable is for the audio people.
Sort of like the 120 volt line cord being special and costing $ 100 or
more for a 6 foot cable. Even it it did something, there is 25 to100
feet of regular old wire to the breaker box.


Most of the things I read suggest that the extra sheilding is only really
useful if you have a strong local signal you want to exclude. More problems
result from poor connections, according to posts by satellite installers,
than from using a cheap foil/braid shield.
