need help with cut cable
i,m new to all this, more at home with cable tv. need some help with a little problem .
my father inlaw managed to go through his cable( the one that leads to his dish). now i thought it would be simple,so i just went round, put 2 f-plugs on either side and rejoined it with a coupler. turned the power back on, his box just says " no signal being receieved" bit of a nightmare really. what i need to know, is does it have to be a straight through coax between the box and the dish? or do i need to do something else now its reconnected? btw, its just a normal sky box,not sky+ , any help greatly appreciated. |

Re: need help with cut cable
joining it shouldn't be a problem, you may lose a bit of signal quality but not enough to lose all the signal. try unplugging the box for a few minuets then start it up again.
