Can anyone tell me what to do with the above? Do i crimp them somehow?

Yup, you need the correct sized tool for the job, so unless you happen to have, or can borrow some, your better off getting the normal push/screw type. The larger ones take a bit of crimping!

Go read How to fit F Connectors to coaxial cable - and then get the screw on ones ....

they the same one that goes into my sky box?

The same .... I only know as I've just had to do this myself - extend sky cables.

bugger, have to go and get the other tomorrow. Thanks for the link though although you cant really go wrong with F connectors 9as long as they send you the right ones to start with!)
