Re: Why do you now need to cap off an old VM TV connection.

An unterminated cable that is still connected at the cab end can resonate at certain frequencies possibly causing poor signal strength. If the cable was being shared by, for example your neighbour, it could cause them problems with some TV channels pixelating.

The cap is in fact a terminating resistor that matches the cable impedance and is always good practice. This prevents resonance occurring.
