Sky LNB connection query

aliasojo

I've just run twin cable from our spare bedroom to the sky dish. I'm happy enough making the connections at the sky box end, but I have no idea what type of connection is at the LNB end and I don't want to start faffing with it unless I have an idea of what I'm doing first.

Any advice or links to pics of LNB connections? All my searching has brought up is pics of the whole LNB and not of the connectors.

It is an " f " connector, the very same as at the Receiver end, make sure it is watertight

Hello, the connections on the LNB end are IDENTICAL to the sky box end. All I would suggest doing extra is buying some self amalgamating tape to waterproof the connection at the LNB end.

I was in the same situation a year ago, and came across this site with loads of good information:

As others say, it's just the same connector as the one on the receiver - but you'll see some decent pictures on that web site.

Thanks very much all. Looks like it'll be easier than I thought then.

Thanks for the links too btw.
