Tv Reception with Tv antennas

The quad shield is for the connection of the Eagle Aspen rotor inside unit to outside unit. Standard RG-6 coax of the type that has one foil shield and some shield wires is Ok for the rest of the house coax wiring. Quad shield for normal low interference areas for housing wiring is not needed. Yes it is Ok to use quad shield , however standard RG-6 is not inferior. . . With quad shield , the extra layers of shielding can get pushed in close or touching the center conductor and cause bad signal transfer , all so look at the foam that surrounds the center wire , if it is smashed in , then make it more round. Need a nice clean connection on the inside of the connector that is on the end of the coax , standard shield or quad shield.
