Sorry guys, i'm asking the cable question again. Just visited Astro Service center today and registered for Astro Byond PVR and SPack3. Like a year ago i moved my TV corner to another side in my living room, so I called the guy that did all electric work when I first moved in the house. All my cables are buried in the wall including the Astro RG? cable. He suggested to pull a new cable from the old port to the new side at the ceiling. The cable He used for the extension is RG6 18awg.
I've heard you peeps said Astro Byond HD decoder must use RG6 for HD service, so I just wanna ask are the cable in the wall RG5/RG6? Can they mix or the actual cable buried in the wall is RG6 when he first bury them?
FYI, i'm living in this house like 10+ years, RG6 introduced that long ago?

RG6 cable can last very long unless the lightning kong it like my one. I recommend you to ask the installer for the cable health, they have special equiqment to test it, or some use Ohm meter only if I remembered it correctly.
PVR also need two cables so yeah, better you just pull two new cable la.

Yea, installed, now just wait until got fund to get a Full HD tv in the living to connect HDMI for HD show. They did pull 1 cable as they said I lack 1 cable for satellite. Found that my buried cables are RG6.
