Freeview aerial cable broke

gadget88

So my Freeview aerial cable is broken the end seems to have snapped off. It’s been pinned to wall so maybe been like that for years. Do I need to fix it or if I don’t use it just leave it?

Just leave it - easy enough to repair if you ever need it.

If you don't use the aerial then there's no harm in leaving it there.  If you ever come to need it then you can get a new end for very cheap, and look on Youtube how to put it on.  It's quite fiddly but doable

Forgive me if I'm stating the obvious but there's no mains power involved in an aerial cable so it won't be danger in any way. I only say this because I knew someone who looked at birds sitting on the TV aerial and wondered why they didn't get an electric shock!
