An ok cable.No wonder Sky make so much money.Probably costs them just a few pence per metre!
They should be using something like Webro WF100 for installations.
And that is exactly the instructions I have always used when doing my installs....with added self amalgamation tape

An awesome price, bought exactly the same set for ~£30 two months ago. Have some heat!

Why, out of curiosity?
a) I've never used self-amalgamating tape on an F-Type connector and not had a problem with water ingress even on a feed of cheap cable that has been attached to my dish for 17 years.
b) why do you or Sky need "premium" co-ax. Unless you have an extraordinarily long run between the LNB and the box (which Sky don't tend to do unless you push them) what difference does a cable like this and WF100 make with a digital signal used over "average" runs?

You use self-amalg internally?

Yes, its cheap enough from screwfix and obviously only of real use externally but used internally just to ensure a good snug grip at the base of the f plug as well as ensure even with cutting off the excess trim of ground wire there is none exposed.

I've never really had a problem with a snug grip unless the cable isn't the right grade. When installing the plug, twist the ground loosely andwrap it round the cable towards the top of the remaining outer-sheath, then screw the connector on. You won't get any excess hanging out of the end of the connector.

No need for a technician visit, just connect this cable to the end of your existing lead using the
supplied coupler and the other end to your equipment - job done!
No loss in signal - this is the thicker cable that some Sky engineers commonly use
