Hi All, recently finished a house extension and got it wired for Sky while I was at it. The electrician ran the cable all the way to the dish but there are no connections on either end.
Can I simply buy these connections and fit myself? If so what are they called?
I am guessing that all I'd have to do is remove the old cable from the dish and the box and fit the new cable.
Or should I call Sky and pay an engineer to fit these connections?
All help greatly appreciated.
