Existing RG-6

Yes, I will see to it that we use a substitute RG-6 downlead before we try and replace it since it goes through the chimney enclosure and through the house. To be honest, if the RG-6 is bad we'll have to find another way of it getting in through the house. That was installed when the house was built.

Also, I took the satellite coax off the combiner already thinking that the satellite lead cant be helping at all. I wanted to just eliminate the combiner but I didn't have a connector and the rain came.

Thanks, Bob
