[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 954953, member: 176362"] If you are confident AND have [I][B]completely safe access to the dish[/B][/I] its easy enough to sort the issue. If you have a Sky+/Freesat+ box you will have two tuners so get some shotgun satellite cable and a couple of f-connectors and run the cable from the dish along the wall, removing the old cable as you go. Be careful not to knock the dish and terminate the cable using f-connectors - instructions are in the dish installation section of the forum. Carefully poke the cable through the hole in the wall trying not to damage the plaster obviously. and run the cable to the back of the satellite box. Make the terminations up with two more f-connectors and screw them to the back of the receiver. Plug it in and with any luck away you go. Tack the cable to the wall using suitable cable clips to stop them swinging around and breaking the single core If you are using older single tuner box then you just need a single cable, but either way seal the holes with some silicone sealant and put a drip loop in - you dont want water dribbling along the cable and into the inside of the house!. If you arent confident about your abilities get someone in to do it - falling off a ladder is a superb way to ruin the start of 2016! [/QUOTE]
