Surely there's a way to reconnect them (kit from RadioShack?) without too much hassle?
Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks guys
First check to see what size coax you need to fix. I am assuming this is for cable tv so it is likely to be rg-6 or rg-59. You will need to get a new F-connector to attach to the end of the cable. For the price of paying someone to fix it you could purchase the tool and do it yourself. If it is outside it would probably be best to get a compression style connector and installation tool. You can use a utility knife to strip the cable. You should be able to find many videos on you tube showing how to install an f connector on coax.
