Hello again,
I recently discovered the coaxial cable stemming from my roof antenna. I was thinking about connecting this to my Hughes HTL-HD Receiver but the coax cable lacks a connector at the output end. The antenna was left over from the previous owner of the house (some 20 years ago) and so I have no specs on it whatsover.
I'm going to head over to RadioShack tomorrow and so my question is whether anyone knows if the coax cable running from this antenna is RG-58 or RG-59 (so that I can get the correct connector). I know it is NOT RG-6 since the cable isn't thick enough. Since I have no crimping equipment I intended to get those twist-on connectors, but does anyone know if those connectors ever come loose? Thanks again.
My antenna looks something like this: http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/thumb/b/b6/200px-Television_Antenna.jpg
