[QUOTE="Alan22, post: 1128187, member: 417507"] Yeah Virgin is definitely thick\stiff cable, and they use the newer style fixings (attached), it's French by the look of it saying Cabelcon 4.9, but any suggestions re: connectors(?), mainly would the compression ones or the crimping ones be better? I have a crimper for ethernet and phone, but I don't think it would fit these newer connectors, so if this one is better then I will have to get this as well, all I know is my hands can't cope with the screw type these days one cable now and then is one thing, but I'd be looking at at least 8 connections doing this, handling each at least twice, so 16 + screw threads I would have no fingers left, and that's before I move onto the TV that I have just got, that has 2 satellite connectors as well which will be my next task once I figure out what to use given 1 fitting is half the size of the other, then I can have the Sky box powered off during the day to save on power, and just use it at night when I'm in bed, but the 4 feeds is the first job. Thanks for the info guys, off to order the LNB now. *edit Forgot the picture. [/QUOTE]
