Solid core copper RG6

I need some help with the "DirecTV Approved" RG6. I understand from reading multiple posts that Solid core copper RG6 is the best and "DirecTV Approved" wiring to use. I used the magnet test on my DirecTV installed RG6 and it appears not to be solid copper. I contacted DirecTV customer service by email asking the question two different ways and got basically the same generic answer. "As long as your home is wired with RG6 cable you have exactly the cable you need". Are DirecTV installers supposed to be using solid core copper??? Some of the wiring currently used was pre wired and I know it is not the solid copper. I have just had HD installed in one room and am getting ready to change out another SD DVR for HD DVR. I just want to be sure I am getting the best possible HD signal to my HDTVs. Is this cable difference (solid vs. ccs) really going to make a difference in the end result???
