The 75 ohm RG-6U equivelent cable is not suitable for 2.4 GHz wireless
applications.

If you're bored and don't mind hunting, for about $300 or so, you can
get a free-to-air Satellite receiver that will give you
occasional football and motorsport feeds, as well as some foreign
channels (check apsattv.com for info, your dish probably points to Optus
B3).
