    Hello, I have a satellite dish
    Three cables come out of the wall (photo attached)
    I would like to extend the cable (s) I don't even know where they are about 1.5 m where the TV will stand

    What I need and how to do it, which cable or all three

    Do I need the necessary items at castorama / leroy?

    I am green in these subjects

    Ps edit
    All in all four Oo cables go

    Two in which is full of small cables and two in which there are probably single copper cables (such protruding needles) I have no idea what it is and why it is so

    None of these wires looks coaxial, they are all rather from the ETHERNET network and probably have ends in other rooms - here (where the photo is taken) there was probably a switch or router.

    Ew. show a better picture of those cables that have "such protruding needles".

    I don't know how you look, but all three are concentric. Just as colleagues suggested, it is best to connect it with "barrel" fittings.

    The two upper ones are concentric, the third probably also, and I wouldn't bet here.

    Two pieces, one cannot be seen because it looks the same as the one in the picture.

    So from what I understand these two with these "pins" connect the barrel or something in one cable anyway?
    As I say in the store, it will definitely direct me, but I don't want to be green in it either, so I would like to ask for some explanation what to buy in order not to ride and exchange

    A colleague who seems to know, I don't know, said that two are from the antenna and the next two in which there are 10 pieces of tiny colored cables are the Internet but here the Internet is not on the cable and So bets from a landline phone cables.

    So two are from the antenna - why two of my question? And how do you combine these two in one?
    A friend said that I supposedly hook one up and try if the other one doesn't work - is this a good way? Do you need to immediately connect two cables with one connector from which one will go to the TV? I really don't know, and the antenna for the bank is built into the roof. Thank you very much for your help

    Ps, I would also like to write what cable to buy because from the place where the cables run out I need 1.5 meter TV, and so I have to connect it (I think one) and connect the 1.5 meter cable that will enter the TV

    It's not a barrel - it's a tee. We do not use such in antenna installations.

    You must extend the cable that leads to the satellite dish.

    You need a "barrel" and two F-connectors (basically three because the end of the cable from the decoder side also requires a connector.

    Hello
    Is this a new building with no sockets on the walls?

    It is a new building in theory, it is the second house that serves as a garage downstairs and the mountain was made 10 years back. Now I've moved in from a second home, cables sticking out of the wall. Dad said the antenna was built into the roof, and these two other cables are from the landline.

    Now I have a question. Well, I have these two coaxial cables (TV from the antenna) that come out of the wall with these pins. To extend it, which cable should I extend? Because only one goes to the decoder, not two. Here is my question, should I buy a connector and connect these two into one, then extend or get in and which way to extend as you advise? In the photo you can also see two such cables with pins from here, my question is to be extended so that there is a signal from the antenna?

    How to combine what to do to extend I know. Only as above I do not know which of these two cables to extend? So that everything flashes.

    Once again, thank you very much for your help

    I think that no one here knows in the forum either. Extend one of them and see if it works. If not, extend the second one and check again. Certainly do not connect these cables with each other because it is not known what will result.

    Also check what kind of antenna it is. What is your dvbt or satellite decoder? It would be best to measure the passage from the antenna and you will know which to connect.

    Find the other ends of these wires and "call" them, the matter will be clarified.
    Secondly, I suggest you install the socket and then extend it. You have to live there.
    Unless there is still no plaster.

    Dad also told me fairy tales when I was little ;)
    Look into the attic, because if the analog TV or DVB-T antenna "built into the roof" (read located in the attic, after the roof covered with non-conductive material) I believe, it is not satellite.

    Everything is going on, finally my father's friend arrived. Thank you for your help and trouble.

    From what he said he did everything elegantly, and the antenna is under the satellite roof. You won't go to the attic because everything is from a tree and you would have to remove the boards - too much work as long as you had to extend this cable. He managed without problems,

    Thank you for your help

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around extending satellite antenna cables by approximately 1.5 meters. The user is uncertain about the types of cables available, which include two coaxial cables with pins and two others likely related to internet connectivity. Participants suggest using "F-connectors" and a "barrel" connector to extend the coaxial cables leading to the satellite dish. It is advised to test each cable individually to determine which one provides a signal to the decoder. The user is also encouraged to clarify the cable functions by checking their other ends and considering the installation of a socket for better connectivity.
