Gerrardasnails:al7478:Might well do that. how flexible do you think th ewire is? it has to go about 6 metres (but i may go 7 to be safe), and bend at least twice. it has to go past french doors so i could just take it straight past or bend it in... Depends on which one you go for - I used this: It's fairly sturdy but quite flexible. 7m will be about £35.

OK cheers. had dth edumb idea that i was hobsons choice with the cable
Come on Al, this is the world of AV!
Ahem. Yes indeed
Now, i notice that cabl eisnt given the same name as that blue stuff on amazon (one is aerial cable, i think, the other goes by its more technical name, i think - male to mail something to something...). Could someone tell me the different names it may be known as, so i can have a bit more of a search. i dont wanna start anything, but im happy to settle for a good compromise between cheap and flexible, with the latter taking slight priority...
I would search under satellite or aerial cable and remember you will need it to have the screw type F connector.
Thanks. is that all? i get a length of cable, that connector. use the connector to connect the new wrire to the old, and stick the other end in my sky box? will any wire of that type work with the stuff i already have from sky, regardless of differences in thickness etc...?
think that may be a dumb question but i cant get up to the dish, so if i have to replace the whole lot, ill have to get a bloke in anyway.
sorry folks. hope im making sense and can end this one soon.
