I just got a TV and the picture isn't complete clear. Long story short, after troubleshooting it I found out that i'll need a coaxial cable that has the copper a little longer so it's long enough to make a solid connection with the TV. I'd also need a little piece to connect my old cable with my new cable because it would be a real pain in the ass to undo all the cable ties I have for cable management.

So to clarify, my questions are:

1) How do I know which cables have the longer copper connectors in them as opposed to the "standard length" that I currently have?

2) What would the connector of cable 1 and cable 2 be called?
 
1) not sure... look at 'em? You can crimp your own and make it as long as you want. ;)

Who said the wire isn't long enough? How long is it?

2) coupler

If you use a coupler with your old cable, I don't see how it will improve your signal if it really isn't long enough to make good contact in the first place. :confused:

What is your source for the TV signal? OTA or QAM?
