3rd, putting new F-Connectors on a piece of cable will not get you a better picture quality unless your existing ones are bad, installed incorrectly, or letting ingress (RF signals) into the cable. It’s a good idea to use those nice compression fittings (especialy outside) because they last longer, they are waterproof as you mentioned, and can prevent future problems, but they do not improve picture quality.

2nd, your information about signal loss is completely incorrect. Where you got 125′ of cable has no signal loss is beyond me. All cable has loss. For example, the RG-6 cable you are using for every 100′ it loses 1.5db of signal on the low band at around 55MHz but on the high band at around 750MHz it attenuates a lot more losing around 5.62db for ever 100′. If your signal is already low, adding another 125′ of cable could easily mean trhe difference between a clear or staticy picture.

1st off, you video should be titled “How to install an F-Connector” because you mentioned nothing about how to actually wire a house for cable TV. If you are going to make a video on how to wire for cable, I would start with the difference between a “loop” system and a “home run” system and explain pros and cons for both. I would also let people know when you strip the cable to make sure not to cut off the braid and most importantly to not let any part of the braid get near the center conductor
