[QUOTE="absoluteb, post: 12084, member: 175196"] Good news on my front. My friend has a mesh, 60cm (I think) satellite he can take down for me. It should do the trick. I came across [url]www.hisat.com[/url] on the links page. They are selling a twin lnb for £33 (ex. Vat) and what seems to be a good fitting kit (cable, f-connectors, self-amalgamating tape, bolts and sleeves). However, the cable is not the CT100 recommended. It is described: “Foam filled double Telflon coated and SKY and CAI approved, It truly is the best cable and Ideal for DIY the foam filling means the cable recovers it bent unlike more common air filled cable the Teflon coating means the cable is entirely waterproof and the cable can even be buried under ground the screening of the cable includes foil and wire mesh and is ideal for the requirements of modern digital receivers” The site does sell the CT100 as well, at 43p per meter, just not in a kit. The kit suits me because it has all the necessary things. Does this cable sound good for approx. 30m? One more thing, (probably a stupid question) should I buy two 30-meter kits or one 60-meter kit (cheaper) because they only give 4” self-amalgamating tape per kit, and I will need to cover two LNB inputs (I haven’t got a clue what this stuff really is and whether it is easy to come by)?
