Cable cover slides into LNB body to expose connectors. Minimal force is required though it is probably best to hold LNB with other hand to prevent stress on LNB arm from causing misalignment. Use silicone grease to lubricate threads when making connection. This also helps to keep out moisture and prevent corrosion. After connecting plugs, slide cover down again to cover connectors.

For safety ask your neighbour to switch of the Sky box and disconnect it from the power when you are working on the LNB.

...............and get someone to hold the ladder.

Cheers guys for the comments definitely will get my wife to hold the latter seawright and Isitme Thanks for telling me how to do this I need to Do it next week to Order yet silicone grease Is it just on the lnb Screw bit silicone grease Very little Required?

A small tube should be more than sufficient.

A 10 gm economy syringe will be more than enough and be sure to coat all bare copper wires to prevent corrosion. See "How to fit an F plug" http://www.satcure.co.uk/tech/fconn.htm

Be aware that connecting to a neighbour's LNB will link your coax shield to his. If his house is on a separate mains phase and an electrical fault develops, then (under rare circumstances) you could have 450 volts AC on the Digibox metalwork and connectors!

Therefore, on the one occasion when I did a "shared LNB" installation, I ran all LNB connections through an earthing bar and connected it to ground at the incoming supply point.

Well that's me finished work now and thanks for your help Satellite dish just needs a small adjustment But I'm not paying for an engineer to come out as the flat is getting scaffolding put up really soon so they'll have somebody to take the satellite dish of the building and stick it to the scaffolding So thanks very much for your help And hopefully win the connect to fix the roof I have a perfect picture Very soon In my flat

as my Share satellite dish is on third floor and I can't reach it sore it was all doing no satellite signal being received sometimes All different times in the day and night But my neighbour had his own satellite dish And he wasn't using it And of the connections on LMB Wouldn't let me connect the cable to it As he was using two and four I used one Number The 3 connection is not usable Cable will not go Insert LNB at all Thanks for your help

Erm... I didn't follow that at all. How about using punctuation? Is there a question in there somewhere? (Is Welsh your native language?)

Well that's me finished work now and thanks for your help. Satellite dish just needs a small adjustment. But I'm not paying for an engineer to come out as the flat is getting scaffolding put up really soon so they'll have somebody to take the satellite dish of the building and stick it to the scaffolding. So thanks very much for your help. And hopefully win the connect to fix the roof. I have a perfect picture. Very soon. In my flat as my. Share satellite dish is on third floor and I can't reach it sore it was all doing no satellite signal being received sometimes. All different times in the day and night. But my neighbour had his own satellite dish. And he wasn't using it. And of the connections on LMB. Wouldn't let me connect the cable to it. As he was using two and four. I used one. Number. The 3 connection is not usable. Cable will not go. Insert LNB at all. Thanks for your help

No, I still don't get it, even with punctuation. Sorry.

I don't think your interpretation of where punctuation should be inserted is correct.

For clarity this meant the time you took trying to take the pis was wasted and out of order.
