??? DVI cable? provides the path of signal transmission between the satellite dish and receiver box. A healthy DVI cable has no rips or exposed areas of wire. If you have a damaged cable, you'll see signs of interference or experience loss of service. Check for loose points of connection along the cable and evidence of corrosion at?the dish, receiver and multiswitch if applicable. If you? see a damaged segment or connection, you may find it? easier to replace that part rather than replacing the? entire length of DVI cable.

?? ?Attach the new connector to its source and wrap it in silicone tape to prevent future corrosion if the original problem was a corroded connection. If the problem was a damaged line, connect both prepared ends of cable to a female to female F-splice adapter. Wrap it in silicone tape to weatherproof your new connection.

??? Prepare the cut ends of the coaxial cable, using the coaxial cable strippers. If you use a knife, strip back a 1/4-inch length of cable coating to expose the copper core. Carefully strip another 1/4-inch length, taking off only the outer coating and leaving the steel braid intact.
