Our house has a 4 tv set up and was built in the 60s so  there was( is) no easy way  to install  cable other than through walls .The bedrooms are split at each tv and then sent on to the next room. The kitchen tv required an additional long cable run and verizon suggested and installed a 110 volt signal amplifier .The the famiy room  is split from the main cable and then split again for the router .and tv .When I we made the switch to verizon the installer tested and retested every cable,connector and splitter .After 6 hours every single spltter ,cable and connector was  replaced only to find out that the instaler's test equipment was faulty .So in short if the route you chose gives you trouble an amplifier will cure the signal loss.

You havew to be careful with amplifiers.

STBs require two way communications.

Most amplifiers are only 1 way.

Thank you for your advices.

Back to the coaxial cable: do you think the one referenced a couple of posts above (by Megabridge) is reasonable? Should one bother to spend time and find something of higher quality? Does it matter for home use with Verizon Quantum TV?

RG-6 is pretty much the same.

You might even find it at you local big box store.
