Satellite TV: [RVInternetBySatellite] Re: DW7000 modem quit

Terry,

Thanks for sticking with me on this. Today I will do the cable switching
per your instructions & will let you know how it goes.

Doing a search here, I found the last cable discussion in 2007. Is it
time for another? [:)] Dual quad shield RG6; compression vs crimp?

Anyone have a source for cable suppliers? All I can find locally is
single RG6, no quad shield. Links on this site don't list any sources.
Dealers: you're invited to email me.

Thanks.
Gail
