[QUOTE="Bruspark, post: 515596, member: 20106"] The satellite cables are likely to be fitted with F plugs which mate with the threaded sockets FreeSat receivers use If not, F connectors simply screw onto the cable so if you get some of the right diameter to fit the cable they are really easy to fit (cut cable to length Carefully remove 10 to 12 mm of outer insulation with a sharp knife but not cutting too hard down into the rest of the cable Remove any foil and fold the braid back over the remaining cable Again carefully remove all but 1-2mm of the visible inner insulation to reveal the centre conductor Screw the connector onto the end of the cable and if necessary trim the centre conductor with cutters of scissors until the tip just sticks out of the front of the ‘plug’ - then screw the plug you just made onto the box or tv ) you tube probably explains it better [/QUOTE]
