Fi Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 HiHow hard is it to replace the connection on the cable from the freesat box to the dish? We have a connection just inside the house which has been temperamental recently. Usually a gentle jiggle restores the connection, but this time, after a dog loony moment when he tangled himself up in the cable, it has stopped working completely! Would usually ask bloke to deal with it, but he's away all week. Surely it isn't that hard? Have tried unscrewing the collar(s) and then putting it back together but it didn't help. What would I need to get to renew the connection? Would a new cable be required or just the connectors/Sorry about the numpty nature of this query, but I really don't have a clue!Many thanksFi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob T Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 If you buy a box of connectors from your local brikkie at about €5, you will see that they are very easy to change. It is a 5 minute job and requires nothing more than a sharp knife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre ZFP Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Here's a link to a 'How to' videohttp://www.instructables.com/id/HOWTO-Compression-Connectors/Probably more info than you need as it's an internal fix so no waterproofing needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
