I need good quality coax cable for TV

My daughter has recently had BT television / phone / broadband in her house. The picture quality wasn't too good, so the BT Engineer told her to buy herself a better quality coax cable.
If I had been there I would have asked him to fit one, after all he was fitting the TV system, but sadly I wasn't. I have had Sky and Virgin in the past and each time they have supplied and fiited the cable from their 'magic box' to the TV.
Anywhere, where should I get a cable from, my caught will needabout 6m.
Thanks

The BT engineer wouldnt have a clue as to why the TV picture wasnt great so said the first thing he could think of.
However 6m of the rubbish TV cables from BandQ maplins etc.. will not be great for signal. Heres some background: http://www.aerialsandtv.com/cableandleads.html#TVleads
Lots of people on eBay and amazon seem to make up and sell custom lengths of WF100 cable. Go for that rather than the rubbish with gold plated ends.
These guys seeem to knock them up with your choice of ends: http://www.aerialsat.com/prod/10m-webro-wf100-aerial-satellite-coaxial-cable.html
[edit] Just reread your post is this from the box to the TV? if so you shouldn't be watching via COAX or RF at all, that's why the picture is poor. You need to be viewing via a HDMI lead.0
