Jezza Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Alright chaps, Anyone any idea how this works? Getting installed up stairs tomorrow, will this mean a hole in the living room wall/roof and a massive extension from the dish to the back room? Seems an awfully big job for 60 sheets.

Beats Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 They run another cable from your sky dish direct to the room mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Do The Dance Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Alright chaps, Anyone any idea how this works? Getting installed up stairs tomorrow, will this mean a hole in the living room wall/roof and a massive extension from the dish to the back room? Seems an awfully big job for 60 sheets. Cheers Yep, that's basically it? Cable run, drill a hole through, run around the room and into the sky box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezza Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 Cool cheers guys. With the dish being at the other end of the house I hope the boys away by 1230 so I can head to the match like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Brown Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 are you in a house, semi, flat? where is your room to the sky dish? they will run a cable round the outside walls and bore through the wall. All too unsightly for me. Got sky a couple of years back, the guy asks if it is ok to drill a hole in the wall to attach the ladder, health & safety., couldn't believe it. Asked him about running a cable into the loft to go to a bedroom on the other side of the house. "No can do, not allowed to go into lofts!!"
