Lnb cable connections
Hi. I have had the builders in recently and the needed to remove and replace the dish, it all works ok but the cable is a mess. Can I replace it myself, does it screw directly onto the LNB as I can't see if they are screwed on, I have a new cable with screw fittings..if sky have to do it is it charge and how much I am even thinking of replacing the dish at some point as it's looking tatty how much for that thanks

Hi @Ukmartian
Most installations carried out by Sky will be by crimped F connectors and not Screw-in.
If you are capable there is no reason why you cannot carry this out or contact Sky.
Normal cost of chargeable Engineer visit is in the region of £65.
Whether or not you will get the dish replaced or not ; you would need to ask the Engineer.
Tea and biscuits might help.
