    This is probably a bit of an obvious question.
    We have a cable installed in our new house from a digital aerial. The cable terminates at the tv location with a standard F connection. On my Humax box this connection plugs straight into the back. However on the Walker box I've recently got, the connection into the box for the Saorview signal looks like a coaxial type connection.
    What kind of adaptor do I need to get to allow me to connect the cable to the box? Also, if anyone knew when I could get one of these I'd appreciate.
    Thanks in advance.

    Please list the make and model of humax and the make and model of Walker.

    A combo box needs a connections to a dish and an aerial.

    Have you only one downlead or two? How installed the aerial and did they set up the box at the time?

    Are you sure you have an aerial and a dish?

    If you have an aerial and a dish are you sure you only have one downlead? Is the aerial and dish cables connected together at some point?

    Replace the F connector with a co-ax plug - http://www.tvtrade.ie/coaxial-connectors-1s.html or use one of these converters - http://www.tvtrade.ie/coaxial-male-to-f-connector-adaptor-1s.html

    Won't help if the cable is coming from a dish, and the Humax is a Freesat box not a Freeview box...

    In Cavan there was a great fire / Judge McCarthy was sent to inquire / It would be a shame / If the nuns were to blame / So it had to be caused by a wire.

    I thought his post was clear on that

    ..and the F connection is going into a Humax box. Unlikely it's a Freeview Humax box...

    I only mentioned the Humax box as that's what I'm used to connecting up to my dish for Freesat in my previous house.
    I've recently got the Walker Combi box and a digital aerial installed.
    The guy who did the installation terminated both the sat dish connection cable and the digital aerial cable in an F connector at the tv point.
    Apologies if my original post was unclear.
    The adaptor suggested by The Cush looks like what I need.
    Cheers.
