I'm planning to run 6 RG11 feeds for my DishTV setup. What is the best
way of making sure the connections are *waterproof* indefinitely.

I'm using T&B SNS connectors on the cable and where the connection
meets the LNB, I'm thinking about using some sorta of silicone grease
sealant on the threads, plenty of wrapping with Scotch 88 tape and then
a coat of Skotchcoat.

I have had pretty good luck by running a piece of nylon thread along
opposite sides of the connector, taping the thread in place, then coating
the Coax connector with about an eighth of an inch of Hot melt, then when
cool, With a layer or two of electrical tape to protect the Hot melt from
the sun. Thought of using Heat shrink, but it soften the Hot Melt! The
threads can be used to open the melt to make it easy to remove if I need to
access the connector. Some if these connections have gone four years and
look Okay!
