Move outside cable

Dear Team,

I had Sky fitted just over 3 years ago.

I need to move my side gate, however when looking the cable is through the gate and I can not remove the gate with rmthe xable where it is

Cable for what, Tv or Broadband and I'll move your post to the correct board. I've removed your duplicate thread as it's not needed.

@jackysnowdonI assume this is the cable from your dish although Sky will do it their standard charge is about £65 as the dish and cable is yours you could employ an independent satellite installer to do it, but get a quote first.

Would love to see a photograph of this - sounds like a very strange cable routing!

hi @jackysnowdon

The Image does show how you might have a problem, as the cable appears to have needed to go over the stationary part of the gate framework.

As we can only see the section around the gate it is a bit difficult to tell what options you have currently for routing the cable.

I guess a question that an installer might have is whether or not they can route a new cable as you wish suitably before you have your gate moved - maybe an option woud be live without Satellite TV between the Gate being moved (just cutting the cable after switching the box off) and an installer coming to route a new cable after the gate is moved.

It will, probably, depend on where you think the cable can be routed

SKY are likely to charge - although they may not & you may be better getting a quote from an independent installer (who are more likely to work to dates around you)

Nice gate, but can't see where the problem is
