Hi i asked about rejoining a ariel cable on my roof that as been cut?

Question

the wire should be dry ,its on the inside of the window ,the brown wire looks like it as only plastic and a copper wire going though it, i want to use it with my v+box so i can get a dvb signal

Answer 1

It is best not to re-join a cut aerial cable. The best way to do it is to fit what are know as F-plugs to each end of the cable and join them with a special F-F joiner. Have a look at www.maplin.co.uk to buy them. You could use a TV aerial plug and socket to join the cable but they might come apart easily.

Incidentally, I don't think the V+ box will work with a TV aerial to give dvb. I think you will need to get a Freeview box.
