Yes,as with most cables within the hifi/av market they  range from the cheap and cheerful to higher priced exotica.

Re: arial cables

You dont say specifically what its for. You could have an aerial direct from the roof aerial to the tv. Or to the wall outlet then a secondary lead from the wall outlet to the tv.

I personally found adding an ixos aerial from my wall outlet to my tv brought benefical quality to the picture (About 12 quid new off ebay if I recall)

Avoid the cheap n' nasty white cables and look for good quality coax like WF100. I wouldn't bother with a branded flylead, the satcure stuff as mentioned above is fine or make your own.
