How often should I replace my coaxial cable?

as long as it's in good condition with no visual rips or tears and no obvious signs of degrading either physically or signal wise, it will happily last many years. I have replaced mine about 3 times in total in the last 14 years.

most cable should last 10 years mate at least ¬ like pheonix says unless there is a problem with the plastic outer wall cracking or water ingress causing signal degradation at the Lnb or motor there is absolutely no reason to replace it ! i have seen satellite cable from the late 1980's still in perfect condition ! In fact most older cable has a better copper content than the new stuff - Given the price(£££) of copper,you'll find most cables used nowadays have a steel outer braid which definitely doesn't last as long as copper !
If i were to replace my cables i would insist on using webro ct100 or benvelo H109f as they are the best available ! Most installers use cheaper RG6 type cables these days and would argue there is little difference in signal loss between the two over a short domestic install which i would tend to agree with,However the point here is to do with lifespan and from my experience copper cables last longer - especially when water ingress occurs !
Stay cool and insist on copper when the time comes

My cable is in place just over 8 years now and still performing as good as ever.

if it aint broke dont fix it.. as long as water dont get in ,last as long as yourself

The coax cable in my parents home is from 1987 and they have still a good signal on astra 19.2/3 east

Edit

Mea culpa i see it to late that this thread is dead
