How do sky install cabling to box
Just a quick question.
I am due to have sky installed at a new property that has never had a satellite dish and was wondering if they feed the cable through the wall to the box or will the installer fit a surface mount box with a face plate.
When my dad upgraded to sky plus many years ago he fitted a box and faceplate himself and the installer wired it up.
I have a box and plate myself that I am planning to fit in advance but was just wondering if Sky do it.
Thanks

There's a lot of rubbish posted on these forums about sockets causing signal loss, and that a single length of cable is better - however, it's not true in any practical sense, and any decent professional job would use a socket (as do all full distribution systems).
Thanks
You get what you pay for basically.
Spend that little extra for a decent quality product and you'll have little or no loss in signal and its a damn sight tidier plus looks so much better.

All pretty well theoretical, and so minor as to not cause the slightest issue - perhaps you've forgotten we're talking 'high level' first IF signals down the cable.
Bought it from Wickes.
