I had some work done in my basement today. One of the contractors had to get to a beam to install some wire for some electrical service for something in my kitchen in doing so he CUT my wire to my dish thus disconnecting me from my service. I have not yet called DTV to tell them but what do you think they will say I am sure hoping i do not have to pay for any wiring that needs to be doen. The contractor was more than gld to pick up the fee. Any thoughts thanks.

Well if he is paying just run down to radio shack and:
A: buy a length of RG6 and replace the entire run that he cut
B: buy 2 male ends for each side of the cut and one F/F coupler (not advised but cheap and quick)

The best splice is the Snap-N-Seal inline splice for a direct connection between two cable ends. It's like the two Snap-N-Seal compression connectors made into one piece end-to-end. I use these often to repair cut wires. The barrel connector degrades the signal.
Just fix the cut with a couple of connectors and a barrel to get you through until DTV can come out and do the repair. Anything less than an unbroken run from the LNB to the receiver/multiswitch is non-standard. Let DTV fix it and send the contractor the bill.
I would never suggest the customer climb a ladder and replace cable himself.
