Wireless sky tv

[Booldawg]

Mrs Booldawg has recently moved the lounge around meaning the TV is quite a way from the sky tv socket. I do have a cable long enough but it means running it over a door frame. As the cable is fairly thick (coax I think) I'm looking to get a wireless connection between the sky wall socket and the sky box.

I've seen something called a AV sender, but this looks more to be a way of sending from your sky box to another TV in the house.

Is there a device that will allow me to connect to sky without the coax cable?

Nope, needs to be a cable.

Thanks chuck.

Can't you get the cable under the edge of the carpet? assuming you don't have a wooden floor.

As a matter of interest we had Sky+ installed a year or so ago and it was installed while I was out, the wife "supervised". I couldn't believe what she had let him do. He said they weren't allowed to drill though customers internal walls due to complaints of damaging decorations. Instead he had drilled into the end of our lounge and run a black cable around the top of the skirting board and around two door frames. It looked a right mess. In addition, the hole he'd drilled from the inside to the outside knocked off a patch of rendering which I had to repair after ripping out the cable and re-running it through the garage and into the lounge. I still have more than half the cable he used which was left over.

A complaint to Sky resulted in "Our policy........blah, blah

I'll try to run it under the carpet, however its fairly thick stuff. I think the door will foul on it, especially as there's carpet gripper all the way round.

Booldawg, What will happen if you go for Sky+ or HD at some time in the future, you will then have 2 sky cables to contend with. Before you do anything think this out.
I wouldn't be without our Sky+HD.

There should be room for it between the carpet gripper and underlay. You may have to trim the underlay to make room for it.
