Should I get this stuff on CablesForLess and pay super cheap prices + shipping or just go to Wal-Mart? Or Radio Shack? I want as cheap as possible. Thanks.

Why even ask? Can't you just look it up on their websites the respective prices, then figure out which one costs the less? Do you need me to hold your hand when you ask how many pieces of toilet paper you use when you wipe your ass too?

Big Lots. It's totally hit or miss, but if you want cheap cables, it can't be beat.

If you lived near me I'd make you the cable for free, and you can get a decent splitter at Home Depot or Lowe's.

Good at MonoPrice?

I'm guessing I want RG6 and not RG59.

Can't find a coax splitter on that site, though. Maybe I will head to Lowe's for that.

yea same here I bought 1000ft RG6 the other day for $30, not sure about splitters, but 100 RG6 weather proof crimp ons are $9 etc.

Actually looks like nothing beats CablesForLess, $1.57 for 12', $2.85 for 25', and $5.05 to ship.

I positively want RG6, F type?
CFL link

Splitter I'll just pick up locally.

Why would you not want RG-6?

Saw your edited post, F-type is just your generic connector for RG-6 Coax.

I prefer compression connectors. :) Much more expensive though.

Compression connectors rock. But yea, they're very costly, comparatively.

Well I had never heard of RG6 or RG59 so I didn't know what the difference was.
