Surely you mean a Telefunken connector? ;)

Is it? Oh well :o Cheers for putting me right Chris, i'll try & remember that...

The point is though it need not be restricted to Sky HD boxes ;) I'm feeding a couple of bits of my kit with screened two core cable with the same connector, a BD player & a video :)

Yes, though i'm using screened mains cable from another well known manufacturer that frequents this forum, which is in effect the same sort of thing. I certainly noticed a difference when i changed from a standard give-away lead to the screened stuff...

I forgot to mention my 56" TV uses the same & the difference with a good screened cable isn't subtle, it was plainly noticeable straight away :)

Thanks Mark, I wasn't trying to be divisive or cute or whatever, just wondered.
