As you can get kits from 99p a metre complete with crimped F connectors with 2 male to male connectors also supplied why would you want to buy a crimper.

Thanks guys!
I take I need to buy a female to female F-connetor as well. I want to keep the orginal male F-connector just in case I canage mind after a while.

Yer its very easy to do, i got a kit for my sky box ages ago (uses the same cable) lol

Anyone know the exact spec for the cable?

My brother is looking to re-locate his STB & router a few metres further away from the point on the wall. He had some satellite cable from his Ex-Sky days, it looked a lot thinner than the VM installed cable so I suggested he tested it for a week or so before running it under the floor boards. Good thing too as his internet played up after a couple of days.

Thanks for the link Masque.

I've got a tech coming in a couple of weeks so I might try and convince him to part with a couple of lengths of cable with connectors ;)

£99 to move a TV about 12 feet away from where it is. I wish i would have got extra cable years ago when i originally had it fitted.

Re: What cable and connector V HD box uses?
 

Thanks. I'll give that a go and if it works i'll cancel Virgin. It's a lot cheaper than £99.

Re: What cable and connector V HD box uses?
 

£99 to move a cable?... If you wanted a professional to do it, you could get somebody out of the yellow pages or paper who are ex virgin engine for half the price!

And it they do it wrong, and introduce noise into the network?

Re: What cable and connector V HD box uses?
 

How on earth could anyone get that wrong :rolleyes:

Re: What cable and connector V HD box uses?
 

If someones connection starts to cause noise on to the network (causes slow speeds/disconnections for other customers), then the Network engineers disconnect them at the cab. the customer then needs a service engineer to investigate whats causing it. if it turns out to be a modification the customer made, then they may be liable to a call out charge.

Just be aware of this if anyone wants to do it, simple as it may sound to do.
