Wall mounted TV to Sky stream box

Gogetemfloyd — Thu, 26 Sep 2024 15:27:02 GMT

I have just got Sky stream and have a wall mounted JVC TV.

My problem is when I plug the cable into the HDMI port , because of its length I can't then hook the TV back onto it's brackets because it's too long.

There's a USB port on the side (photo below) which I thought would solve the problem so I bought an adaptor cable but it doesn't fit the USB port as it's a different shape

The small writing on the TV next to the USB female port reads

USB

5 vdc

max 600 ma

It's shorter and deeper than a standard USB port

Any ideas much appreciated

Steve

@Gogetemfloyd Best to get a HDMI cable that has a right angle 90 degree connection similar to this one from the well known online retailer (click on the 90o option).

@Gogetemfloyd

Unclear what you were hoping to do with that adapter, but a USB port on a television set cannot either power a Stream puck or accept video input from one.

Thanks GD1

That looks just the job. Didn't even consider a right angle fitting.

I'll order it now..

Cheers
