We have been through a number of Cable/Sat-TV providers now (change from time-to-time due to pricing/performance). Each new one seemed to install their own cables in our attic, and the old ones all leave their old cables/connectors behind. I probably have 50-100' of coax for TV (not sure of the actual type/number), and numerous connectors and splitters. Shame to waste it all.
So I was thinking... with the right connectors ordered off Amazon, maybe I could use the TV-Coax stuff as if it were cheaper RG-58. I know it's not LMR400, but it would still save me $ not having to buy 100' of RG-58.
