If anyone can help me solve a problem - I will actually pay them £5 via paypal because I need to get this sorted!

Anyway, I have an aerial lead coming into my bedroom from the aerial on the roof (obviously!).. but it has no connector on the end, it looks like this:



I need to know how to make this into an aerial lead again, so i can finally watch freeview in my room! Any guidance would be great.

you have the outer mesh and should have a solid inner within the coax
strip back the plastic and outer mesh, place the screw bit of plug over first then you have a little part that you pinch with pliers to stop plug from coming off
outer mesh fold together for out of plug then place solid inner into plug, screw together then hopfuly you have your freeview
can do no probs as done many times at home but am crap at descriptions
hope tou can understand my instructions and good luck

Will see what I can do mate, do you know where I can buy the co-ax plug to fit myself?
