External cable box

[Michelle1973]

I need to replace the front cover of the external cable box on the front of my house (it's missing completely) - has anyone else had to this or know where to get these from ?

Doesn't sound like a Sky box. Dish cables usually pass straight through the external wall.

Hi Mark, yes I have a dish so the cables pass through the external wall but they were boxed (protected)

Can you post a picture?

@Michelle1973 I can't see from the picture any cable that might be coming from your dish and I'm certain a Sky installer wouldn't have left things like that. The thinner wires definitely aren't anything to do with Sky tv - they look more like telephone wiring. I'm not sure there's any cables there related to Sky tv - looks more like the innards of a phone socket.

Any specialist supplier of enclosures should stock such things: for example

For that location you'd want at least an IP65 rating.

However the apparent state of those connections might suggest they aren't the live ones.

@Mark39  Possibly an old Virginmedia/Cable connection which used coax & telephone line.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions and assistance - I'm now looking into this further based on the information provided by you 😁
