Hi, I brought my first DM500s today, I spent the last month researching and I thought I knew exactly what I needed to do but instead I have a problem. I cannott get the coxal cable to fit into the LNB input or output at the back of the box. I literally had a working sky box which I removed, in the back of that I had 2 antenna cables (1 for my areal and another from the sky dish) and neither of them will fit because they are to big. I was thinking i could remove the head of the cables which would just leave the wire and insert that but it doesnt seem right. They both look like this Google Image Result for http://www.scart-cable.com/28-cable-2.jpg and the middle part of each is to big for the small holes in the dreambox.
The weirdest part is tho even tho my Dreambox even says DM500s on the front, the 2 connections on the back for the wires are labeled "Ant" for antenna input and output, this is how a DM500-C/T should be labeled for cable, and a DM500s should be labeled as LNB for satellite. Its almost like i have a DM500s made for cable.
Thought this was interesting but maybe im just making a stupid mistake, any advice welcome.
 
Thanks for the replies but no I did not get any adaptors. I think like morashid679 said what I need is an f connector. Does anyone know if i could just snip off the head of my current cable and place on a screw on f connector would that fit my dreambox and sky box? thanks

Are you sure you have not got a cable version of the 500

500s comes with f connectors 500c comes with the connectors your describing
 
As Ferret says, the connection you took from the sky box will be the same for the dm500 if it is the sat type, if its a dm500c cable type it will not fit.
