Connect to wall?

[idiophreak]

Hi there,

Really dumb question, but I know nothing about these things...

Moving into a new flat tomorrow and am treating myself to a foxsat hdr as I go.

The new flat has the dish wired into a socket on the wall, just labelled "sat 1" and "sat 2", with little screwy things...

(socket is very similar to the "Labgear Screened Socket Quadruplexed Return" on Screwfix - sorry, I'm not grown up enough to post links yet ;) )

Anyway, does anyone know what kinda lead (or leads, I guess) I need to buy to connect the box to the wall?

While I'm here, can someone also confirm that the box includes a HDMI cable - read a couple of things that suggested it did, but can never be too sure :)

Many thanks!

The screwy things are a standard TV connector known as a F plug. They are very simple to fit to sat grade coax.

Get yourself some f connectors and coax and make your own.

THe hdr does have a hdmi lead in the box.

Thanks very much for your help - will the plugs on the back of the foxsat be these F plugs too?

Yes they are.

As an example a flylead as sold by B&Q:

Excellent, thanks very much for that - saves me having to think for myself :)
