The angle of this cable means drilling a 2" hole in house. Anybody have the best method before I go drill a hole this size? Cover up the hole with silcone?
I used a hole saw, and pushed the connector and cable through. Then I used the plug I cut out and cut a small channel in the edge the size of the cable itself.
If it is possible to feed the cable from inside your house you can easily get away with a 3/4” hole by pushing the connector that attaches to dish from the inside and feed it back towards your dish and reconnect. Just be wary of protecting the connector as you push through the hole as those proprietary ends can be a little bit finicky.
