[QUOTE="hexah, post: 660677, member: 333852"] Excellent advice from rick1980. I will add: White coloured cables can be used from the LNB to the multiswitch. They will last longer than brown or black in intense sun. If you have black or brown cables exposed on the wall, paint them with white house wall paint. Also use white LNBs, or paint black LNBs white, and shade the LNBs and multiswitch with thick white plastic in the summer. A white dish will crack the LNB cap in 2-3 years and let water in. If the dish is white, perhaps spray paint (matt) it another colour e.g. light grey, light brown. Maybe paint the plastic pipe the same colour as the wall! All of this will make the LNBs, cables and multiswitch last for longer. :) [/QUOTE]
