moving sky box

rossireps

hi
wondering if anyone can help.
i want to move my tv and sky box to opposite end of room but the two cables are all clipped to the wall etc,as my dish is one end tv opposite end. is there anyway i can do this without using the cable thats already there. sorry if thats a stupid question. just i dont really want to move all the cable but need to move it around. its a small room and i have sky plus. thanks

Well the cable from the dish is going to have to get to the back of the Sky box somehow - there's no wireless way to do this other than to use the Sky+ box where it is and a video sender.

You really have four options

1) Move the cables - which you say you dont want to do

2) Extend the cables - reroute them inside the room to the new location

3) Install new cables - most dishes have a quad LNB so assuming you dont have any other sky boxes in use already you could run another 2 cables from the dish to the new location. If its only a dual LNB then you'd need to replace the LNB (the LNB is the receiver part of the dish)

4) Leave the sky box where it is and use a sender to push the signal to the TV - senders can be a little prone to interference from wifi, cordless phones, mobiles, microwaves etc but with a decent one and changing bands etc they normally work. Would just need to learn where to point the remote when wanting to change channels etc.
