My wife likes her TV. She likes it a lot! So much so that she sprung for one of these satellite antennas for when we go "camping".
I have to admit it's a pretty cool device. Just set it on the ground or a table with the connectors facing approximately North, connect a coax between the antenna and the set-top box and it will rotate and tilt and fine tune in three different satellites in about 5 minutes.
Only problem is it uses those crappy TV connectors ( type F?) which can be a pain to get aligned and screwed on without cross threading.
So, what would be the issues with changing the connectors to BNC? Can I just replace the panel mount connectors with BNC and buy a new cable? Or is there more to it?
The 25ft cable that came with the antenna is unmarked but I have a 50ft RG59 that works just great so I assume we are talking 75 ohm impedance here. They do use the coax to supply DC to the antenna for motors so any kind of matching transformer is out.
Thanks...
