Hi people,

I'm having patio doors fitted next to where my Sky box is at the moment, so we want to move the TV 12 feet up the lounge.

How would I best go about getting my Sky lead extended? Can you buy an extension and fit it yourself outside of the house and drill a new hole? Or would I best go about asking Sky to come out and do it for me?

Cheers,
SG

You can get line 'connectors', these join two F connectors together - so make a lead as long as you want with F connectors each end, and join on to the existing lead with a line connector. Best to do this all inside, although as long as you use self-amalgamating tape to seal it it's perfectly OK outside as well.

Or if you want a little more work?, run a completely new cable from the dish, again it's just F connectors either end.

Thanks for that. I dont really want to do it inside as its not a flat wall..there is a fireplace in the middle. Where can i get leads and f connectors from?

Maplins, any decent TV shop, B&Q, loads of places.
