The longer you make it the worse it will perform... your "cable guy" is
totally wrong. I wish I knew his name so I could avoid his cables at
all costs.
But just because it appears to work doesn't mean it is working
correctly. It's the difference between a listening to the radio and
having it pick up a lot of noise but you can still understand what the
announcer is saying and having enough noise that you can't make out
anything.
