Push fit cables are fine, &amp; are designed to push over the thread of the older F type connector. If you want cabling any longer than 3 metres this requires a technician visit. They will make up the correct length triple screened cable on site , &amp; will check &amp; adjust signal levels which can be affected by installing longer cables. There is a standard charge of £25 for this.A forum team member will respond to this thread in a couple of days to arrange this if you if you want.
