QED Reference Aerial Cable

I'd had been having issues with my TV reception for a while: picture freeze, pixelation, and channel loss.
I knew the coaxial cable in the wall cavity connected from the aerial to the wall socket was good, so the problem had to be with the cable that plugs into the TV from the socket.
After several cheaper cables, it made very little difference, so I decided to try the QED Reference cable in 1-meter length which made all the difference. I now have full restoration of all channels with perfect picture quality, so the purchase was worth it for me.
It's a little pricey, but it's the old adage you pay for what you get...Future Shop is also great to deal with, with good communication and fast delivery.

This is a great quality item. Having recently experienced some issues with Freeview channel loss and severe pixelation (caused by power being turned up on a nearby 5G mast, and despite already having 3 levels of anti-5G filter from the aerial to the TV), I managed to recover almost all of the affected channels and have great picture quality, thanks to this cable.
Other TVs in the house were forced to use Freesat, but this cable worked well for me. Other cheaper aerial cables barely improved the reception problems.
I can thoroughly recommend this.

I bought this cable because I had problems with my Freeview signal. Anyone who has been through this process knows that many variables might affect your picture, and ruling out RF interference is always the first thing I try.
Properly shielded cable such as QED allows you to do this. The picture (when I could get it) was immediately brighter and sharper. The cable itself feels solid, is white (trivial, you might think, but it's an awful lot less conspicuous in that colour) and has just the right balance of rigidity vs flexibility - it hangs nicely.
In the end, it turned out that I was tuned to the wrong MUXes (well, the right ones if you check with the Freeview page), but I don't regret my purchase as, if, like me, you rely on Freeview rather than Sky, a quality signal is paramount.
PS For anyone interested, I'm on the Sutton Coldfield transmitter, for which the important MUXes are advertised as 40 (HD), 43 (BBC), and 46 (ITV et al.). 32, 34 and 35 worked way better for me.

This cable is superb and expensive, but its quality in build and picture quality shines through.
Great product, superb helpful service on the phone.

The service was really great. I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted, but it didn't matter. Some places make you feel really ignorant. This is how to do it.

The cable being reviewed was already fitted in my home between the aerial indoor wall socket and TV to good effect. However, the TV picture was not what it could be. Upon fitting this cable between HDD Recorder and the same TV, I witnessed an immediate improvement in the strength of colour, focus, brightness, contrast and sound through TV speakers.
This cable really helps to get the most from your aerial signal from the point of entry to the house. Like all specialist cables, it improves with bedding in use. The only drawback is the cable is not as flexible as cheaper, lower-quality aerial coax cables. Fab that it's available to order as custom lengths with male or female coax terminations. Tis the cats pyjamas.
