It gets worse. Even their RG59 aerial cable can make the piccy on your TV look better:!

Well of course it does,

It has lubricants on ths inside, optimised in the 400-900MHz frequency range, and this helps the pictures (which are furled up at the antenna) to pass down the cable for unfurling inside the TV.

Er, no.

because the high quality conductors mean that there's less dilution of the signal.

If you use lubricants surely you will dilute the signal?

They may be experts for audio frequencies but they don't seem to have looked too hard to find a better aerial cable :)

RG59 as sold by russandrews.- attenuation = 39db @ 1000MHz per 100m.

CT100 as used by your local cowboy satellite dish installer - attenuation = 22db @ 1000MHz per 100m

Perhaps if they have got it so wrong with aerial down-lead their judgement on the audio cable may be equally flawed.

This is probably why I haven't had one free without asking. Not spent more than =A3100 with them in the last 12 months. I noticed that all the= free mailings had stopped a month or so back as well. Placed an order the other week and the mailings are back...

I've spent 1500 quid in the last 12 months and I haven't got mine yet!

[Dave Liquorice]

Have you had a letter, might have been a stuffer with one of the regular mailings, giving details of the =A34.99 cost and refund when you= spend more than =A3100?

Maybe they have sent one but it's gone walk about, I guess the only way to find out would be to ring 'em up.

[Bob Eager]

Could be...might easily have missed it.

Thanks!
