Big screen TV and CABLE

[LSchafroth]

I just got a 46" Sony tv this weekend. The picture with the CABLE is noisy, very grainy.

The 36" upstairs is awesome. I changed out the splitter with a much better quality one with a higher frequency rating and smaller dB loss and the picture is a LOT better. I put a good quality 3' cord from the wall to the TV and from the main feed splitter to the feed to the room the TV sits in. the picture is watchable but not near as good as the old TV upstairs.

All the cabling throughout the house is quad shield RG6 with gold ends.

Would monster cables be that much better then the RG6 gold ones I already have? I have two 3' ones. Should I get monster cables to feed the splitters?

I tried a powered splitter but the signal was too strong and it ghosted badly on both TVs.

Is there anything that filters and cleans the signal to the big TV I can buy?

there isnt anything you can do about the noise i have cable and the analog channels look like crap and half on the 55 inch philips hooked via S-video from the digital cable box..

it looks like total crap when watching it on channel 3 or via screw in connector..

now on the digital channels this is where cable really shines with an s-video cable on those channels the picture quality is EXCELLENT!!!

so no monster cables wont do anything but brighten up the image and thats about it..

I have a fried who's wife works for American TV and he got the monster cables for me at 50% off. I used the monstor coax cables to feed the wiring to the basement and another one from teh wall outlet to the TV. I also repalced the coupler in the wall plate with a gold conductor one and the picture is darn near perfect now. Not bad for crappy analog cable.
