Sky dish lnb

Its a straight swap John – same satellite. Just be careful not to disturb the dish – it doesn’t need re-alignment – as long as you don’t knock it out of alignment. I would recommend using self amalgamating tape on the F-type connectors for water-tightness. You’ll want a spanner (small adjustable will do) to slacken and then tighten the F-types.

welcome John – that tape – cut a length off and stretch it for 30 seconds in/out in your hands – it will start to feel a bit warm and will stretch/thin out. That’s the time to wrap it and then clamp the end with finger/thumb down when you have finished wrapping. You need to peel the backing tape off before you wrap – a good tip is to leave an inch of backing tape before the actual tape after your first cut – makes life a lot easier. A few tutorials on YouTube but when you have the tape in your hands it should make sense.

absolutely John – do it all when the weather is dry else you are keeping moisture in not out. Bit of kitchen roll on then off the connections won’t do any harm.

Result! Good move John.
