Please can someone tell me if I can buy a lead that will make my sky box reach the other end of my front room

Typically that will be a twin satellite coaxial cable extension kit, widely available online in assorted lengths.

Check the back of your Q Box, you may only have one or two coax inputs, just buy the extension based of what you already have

Q typically uses two satellite feed cables when supplied from an individual dish. One cable would usually be from a communal system in flats.

Hi this is exactly the help I was looking for as I want to move my TV from one side of the living room the other. The Internet Router is also connected to the Sky Q box so is it the same principle of just buying an extension?

Q would normally connect via wireless - unless you have the Q box connected via Ethernet cable?

If so, you can buy longer ones.

Thank you. For some reason the Sky Q box doesn't connect wirelessly, maybe I need to speak to Sky about that!
