How do I Attach to a Coax Cable for Satellite TV?
Satellite TV relies on a physical connection between the satellite dish, typically mounted on a roof, and the satellite receiver, which is connected to the television. The satellite signal is transmitted through coaxial cable, or coax for short. Coax cables support the signal transmitted from the satellite dish to the receiver, which may span 100 feet or more, depending on the placement of the dish and the receiver. You can attach the coax cable between the satellite dish and the satellite receiver yourself. You will not need any tools.
