How to connect coaxial cables?

[Anonymous User]

We previously had sky, which required two cables to be screwed into the back of the sky box.

The nowtv box requires on push connection.

I've bought a female to make connector, but as I'm only connecting one cable to the back of the NowTV box it doesn't seem to like it.

Any ideas?

If you had a Sky box this would suggest that your two screw cables are 'F-plugs', which would have connect to a satellite dish!

The NOW TV 'smart' box requires a TV aerial/antenna (not satellite) connection. Do you have a TV aerial @Anonymous User?

Is there a solution to this? I have the same problem. Had sky before so not sure how to connect the box. The aerial point is too far away to connect to.

@Anonymous User you can't work the Now box using the Sky signal. It is a different type of signal to Freeview. Unfortunately you will either need a longer coaxial from your aerial or an indoor aerial.
