[QUOTE="mossy23, post: 1150031, member: 418794"] Just got back to this - I got my spare cable, connected the shielding of the spare cable to the shielding of the cable that is going outside, I connected both shieldings together outside at the dish Inside I put my DVM in series between the shielding of my spare cable and the shielding of the cable which goes down the wall out to the dish. I got a reading of around 35 Megaohms initially, but it seemed to be slowly dropping to around 30M, then I switched off my receiver and it dropped to around 6M, then progressively to around 3M I'm not sure if that is normal or what, nor am I sure if that means the shielding on the underground cable is fully intact? I would have expected a much lower reading, my leads are reading about 2ohms [/QUOTE]
