I've got a few short usb extensions as supplied with usb wifi dongles. These bend but hold their position presumably to get a better signal. Are these available for hdmi connections?
I want to try repositioning my now tv stick.

Ive seen HDMI cables with adjustable/swivel ends.
would a 90 degree adapter allow you to go in the direction you want?0 -
I've ordered a 300mm lead for one tv but for another a bendy lead seems like the best solution. A 90 degree swivel adaptor might be the next best option.0

I would question the cost/long term life of those swivel ones. I use basic 90 degree adapters for my TV/sound bar HDMIs

Make sure you check male/female and orientation to make sure the HDMI faces the direction you want.0 -

+1 to that, I have the same, due to restricted space between TV and the stand.I think this job really needs
a much bigger hammer.
