Noob question about cable connector

[PaulJB]

I know I sound stupid, but I am doing some research before I buy a box, I have cable (VM), yet a bit confused when I see tuner boxes with the DVB-C connection. My incoming cable connection is similar to a satellite connector (screw thread type), yet all the receiver boxes I've looked at with DVB-C connections look like the old aerial (RF type) How do I link the two?

I've spent the last few days trying to find out, within minutes of me posting my question I find the answer, looks like there is just a straight adapter that changes the screw type on one end to the rf connector on the other!

you need an 'F' connector IEC male adaptor check the bay for prices probably around ?1.50 with postage
