I had a new dish "professionally" installed yesterday im my aparment. It's a triple LNB dish. The installer drilled a hole large enough for 3 cables into my living room. The 3 cables were fed through the hole individually. Both the inside and outside part of the hole are siliconed. So on the inside, there's a hole with three cables coming out, covered with silicone. Can anyone recommend something to cover this up? I've looked everwhere, and have not found what I'm looking for. I don't know what kind of face plate would work, since it's 3 cables. Thanks

The simplest thing would be to get a blank wallplate and drill three holes (or 1 larger one) and just pass the cables through that.

Alternatively, you could get a modular wall plate with 3 barrel connector inserts, add connectors to all the ends of the cables and do it "professional" looking...but that would cost significantly more then a blank wall plate and you would gain nothing...and possibly loose something if you mess up.

ThanksIn the "C"band days they made a wall plate to cover the ribbon cable I use those for speaker or multiple cable lines. I can't tell you where to find them but your satellite supplier should be able to order them from Centronics part number 678W :) As an after thought if the cables are close enough you might get away with an an electrical switch cover plate.
