<p>Scott,</p>
<p>Try to determine why kind of coax it is. It should be written on
the outer shield.</p>
<p>After that you should be able to Google for the correct
connectors and YouTube demo's on how to install them.</p>
<p>As an example, when I installed my satellite dish I used RG6 Quad
Shield. That also seems to be relatively popular CATV cable. But
there is also an RG6 Dual Shield which, I am assuming, would look
similar on the outside but is certainly not the same on the inside
and takes a different connector. And your cable not even be RG6
ANYTHING so look first.<br>
</p>
<p>Anyway, once you figure out exactly what cable you have then take
the environment into consideration. Do you need weatherproof
connectors? Are there any support issues? That kind of stuff.</p>
<p>Note that there may be some special tools to make the stripping
and inserting into the connector much easier. I've actually had
better luck ... though it took a while ... stripping the coax by
hand than I did with the inexpensive coax strippers that I bought
but the 'pusher' was a must-have in my opinion. So you may get to
buy some tools you don't already have but will hopefully never
need to use again.<br>
</p>
<p>Other than that I can't think of why you can't do it yourself. Of
course any laws, regulations, ordinances, contract agreements,
etc. that you violate while doing so are on you ;-}<br>

to the house. It looks exactly like you'd think it
would--ripped apart on one end.</div>
