Moelester seems to be on top of this and is totally correct. This is a federal rule.

Also right about trying to keep the cable run less than 100 feet, but if it has to be more than that you can easily add an inline amplifier that you can get at Radio Shack for about $10 (I think). You just insert it between the antenna and the cable at the antenna end of the cable. I had to do this with a satellite internet connection and it's working fine. The amp boosts the signal to make up for loss in the cable over a long run.
