[QUOTE=">COR<, post: 178421, member: 176572"] Hi, Difficult to tell without actually beeing able to see the LNBF end of the cable, most of the time i trim an small end from that end and see what the braid and inner conductor look like, if water has ingressed then the cable will be corroded, and must be replaced. Without trying you won't know, so do try the reciever with the cable and see if you get an signal, there are also watertight F connectors, hopefully these were used when the dish was installed. The tape is selfamalgamating tape, used here in abundancy as well for satelite as well the hamradio antenna connectors outside. But since the dish has been up for years, and you don't get an signal it will be best to replace the cable, and check the dish for allignment as well. Cheers, Cor [/QUOTE]
