RUSS ANDREWS Introducing the new triple screened downlead The oxygen-free natural lead large gauge outer screen will provide a massive improvement to your digital TV picture, by keeping out interference radiated by solar flares and next door's cat. The outer screen utilises US military 'stealth' technology and has a rectangular cross-section to maximise interference-reflecting surfaces. An easy DIY install that will revolutionise your viewing.

Ooh I like the look of that. I did get the poking done with a length of
15mm copper in the end, straight up to the loft with some bending along the way, then threaded some cat 5 down the pipe, removed pipe with cat 5 in situ, then attached the coax to it & pulled through very easily.Have something to add? Share your thoughts — no account required.
