[QUOTE="BReeves, post: 2820907, member: 10973"] The cable itself really doesn't make any distinction between HD and SD, that is determined in the transmitting equipment. The two common cables used in the home are RG-6 and RG-59, RG-6 is slightly larger and has lower loss, typically used on longer runs. RG-59 is smaller usually used to connect between video components. You may have a shorted cable, pretty easy to get a strand of the shield shorted to the center conductor if you are not experienced in installing the connectors. Probably should add. If you are in a fringe area, you reduced the available signal by moving the antenna into the attic and if you ran RG-59 you added more loss. This may or may not keep you from receiving anything but could reduce the number of channels you will receive. [/QUOTE]
