While trimming grass I think I pulled a cable loose. It all sits on the ground. Both a large orange cable and a small black cable come down from the LNB. The orange cable goes down the mast and continues to the house. The short black one is just hanging there with a fitting on the end and I don't where where to screw it back on

Can you take a picture and add it to this thread? We might be able to identify the connection and where it might need to be reconnected.

The short black one is just a jumper to use for pointing the dish. It doesn't screw into anything. Just push the end into the mast

I have one like that on my DISH lnb and it is hooked to the one of the ports. Doesn't do anything unless it's hooked to a meter by DISH.
