Running satellite coax

I apologize if posted in wrong place. I just installed a Winegard Direct TV Slimline Trav'ler. If I run the coax and the control cable the most direct route (about 12ft.) to enter the front cap, they will be within about 6in. of a CB antenna and coax and an XM antenna. Does anyone know if this would cause any cross interference? They would also run parallel (about 12in.) to the Winegard over the air antenna when rolled down. Would this cause any problem? I have called Winegard but they have not called back. I am at a stand-still with the project now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Marty
  • The coax is shielded so it will be no problem if it is next to your other cables.
    The control cable for the Winegard is just wires to control the antenna so they will not cause any problems either.
  • I have run lots of cables close together and no problem. cb, vhf, phone, tv.
