Single artillery cable to set Q box

[Ipad..]

I need a cable that comes out of sky q into a single ariel port on wall. There is a large communal dish on my estate why allows sky to work. Anyone's know that that cable is?

hi @Ipad.. 

You just need to search for Satellite Cable Fly lead

The come with 2 'F' connectors on each end and can be obtained in various lengths

Hi @Ipad..   Just in case you are not aware, the LNB type will need to be changed in the hidden settings for the single feed.

@Ipad..  to configure a Sky Q receiver to use Single Cable Router (SCR) LNB mode;

Press Home
Scroll down to Settings - but do not press enter/select at this point
Press 0 0 1 in sequence followed by the Enter/ select button
You should now have the engineer's menu displayed

Change the LNB type from the 'default' Wideband option to SCR

After changing the LNB mode, remove mains power from your SKY Q box, and then restart it to allow your Sky Q receiver to re-configure itself to now use a communal Single Cable Router as its satellite transponder signal source.

Perhaps I'm missing the point here but wouldn't the (presumably) existing shotgun cable work, just attaching one of the ends to the single 'aeriel socket' (unless that turns out to be a terrestrial aerial as I initially thought)?

My thoughts (& hence my reply)  were just that the cable was lost or  broken and thus just needed replacing.

the original cable came out of the dish which I left hence I need to replace

Can you not find out who  owned or maintain and provides the service for  that communal dish system. They should have people like Sky do  that  connect the consumer to there system and set up your Sky box to work with there system, they are  not usualy user self install. Also would have thought such communal dish systems like cable companies are not usually free and you probably have to pay monthly or yearly fee to use it to cover things like  maintenance cost ect on top of your  Sky subscription.
