    Connection from Cable to Dreambox

    What is the adaptor i need to connect the cable to my dreambox. the cable wire has like a satalite style adaptor on it and the dreambox is like an old school tv ariel adaptor.

        right m8 you need to input either 6.887 or 6.952 b4 you scan depending on area
        just change as required
