Fixing My Nieghbours Sky+
Well My Nieghbours Sky+ is playing up and I went into the back garden to see Chav's that hang around outside have severed the Cable running down the wall... What do the police do.. **** all
First things first Sky said It'll cost him So i said *******s ill do it 1) Is it coax cable. 2) Just to confirm you need Two feeds running from the LNB to the Box? |
Re: Fixing My Nieghbours Sky+
If it's sky+ then yes two feeds are needed. Any decent quality sat cable will do, just make sure it's 75ohm and preferably double shielded.
Just be aware that there is a voltage running on that cable (no where near enough to harm a person, but any shorts could blow the LNB power supply so make sure that the box is turned OFF (NOT STANDBY) before you do any work on the cable |
Re: Fixing My Nieghbours Sky+
Yep gotcha Thanks for your help Turned the box off Going to get a good 10 metres of cable lol
Starting at 12ish so will Update when i finished to Hopefully say It was Succesful |
Re: Fixing My Nieghbours Sky+
Just be carefull when at the dish...
1# it tends to be a few metres up and a drop that far can injure you.. 2# Try not to move the dish at all as even half a degree can make a difference between a good or bad signal |
Re: Fixing My Nieghbours Sky+
Is it a fairly neat cut? If so you could get some F-Connectors and Couplers and then its just a case of making the joint rain proof, the Twin cable Sky+ uses is pretty expensive

Re: Fixing My Nieghbours Sky+
It might be an idea to cover the cable with some protection up to chav height if that's where they tend to loiter.
