Hi there,
Would like to change the connectors at the end of the cable where it connects to the LNB. I was wondering if these are good or should I get a different kind. And where can I get them.

Noticed that I can post attachments. Can anyone that has that permission post pictures of good connectors.Thanks.

Thomas & Betts compression connectors are good ones to use, just stay away from the cheap twist on F connectors (the ones that twist onto the coax). Other than that, any compression connectors for RG-6 coax should be fine.

Good advice.

T&B are good. There other makes of good compression connectors. Note that they must be installed with a compression tool (not crimp tool.) They are available at online satellite retailers and Home Depot.

I think I have Thomas & Bettis connectors.

It says *LRC *SNS1P6 on them

They look like this one.
