Shelter for my cables

June 8, 2009 3:53 PM

Help! I need a replacement all-weather cable TV box (pic inside) on the side of my house.

The cover for an all-weather box that holds my external cable TV connections has always been missing. The backing is about 7" W x 10" H with about 3" deepth needed for the cables. I never really cared about this eyesore but now I'm selling my house and trying to take care of all the loose ends. I've looked at Home Depot and Lowe's without finding anything even close. If I get rid of the box altogether (I already switched to DirecTV), I'll have an ugly mess with my siding that would probably be more expensive to fix (assuming I could even match my faded siding).

Can anyone point me in the right direction or give me a link to an online resource to replace this box with something at least similar?

Best answer: Here is what you are going ot be looking for. I just did a search, I have never bought one, so YMMV with who you buy from.

Response by poster: Climber, you rock! I had a feeling somebody here would know what it was and where to get it. I'm ordering one right now!

You're looking for an Outdoor Cable Junction Box. Not the kind of thing they carry at the big box stores. You might sneak around to the Service Entrance at your local Cable or Phone company and try to find someone to sell you one off the truck, but they're pretty cheap online.
