    I have to get a longer cable than the one the UPC supplied
    I am looking for the cable that you connect from the UPC wall socket to the horizon box. I probably need to order it online so Im looking for a technical name for it
    Cheers

    Co-ax flylead.

    Are the connections at the end of the existing flylead push-in or screw-on connections? You should be able to pick one locally.

    What you want is a "satellite to coaxial" cable, you will pick one up in Power City for about three euro.
