DirecTv . . Switching from SD to HD
All . . . . . We are thinking about going from SD to HD with Directv. Has anyone done this lately?? They will update our equipment for free, and charge an extra $13 per month for the Gene HD package...

Most RG6 (including that shipped with the Winegard products) is steel with a copper clad. A solid copper core is quite expensive and not necessary. If it's solid copper you will usually also find that the tiny ground wires that wrap the core are brass as well. MotoSAT used this coax on their TX side of the Datastorm satellite internet systems but regular steel (copper coated) coax on the RX side. It likely was not necessary there either as the early Datastorm's did not use solid copper and many are still working today.
