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

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 threds, plenty of wrapping with Scotch 88 tape and then
a coat of Skotchcoat.

Product called "Coax-Seal". Non-hardening black putty.

I use standard electrical ductseal grey non hardening putty..have it at any
home depot or electric supply house

Hey, here's the best way to do this without it looking like **** and it will
still be easy to remove later if you need to change out LNBs or something.
use digiseals and digicon 360 degree crimp connectors also use a non
conductive grease on the threads. its the strongest connector on the market
and weatherproof to boot. All reputable installers use digicons and
digiseals with a grease if you really want to fullproof it then use a heat
shrink tube over the entire connector and digiseal. :)
