I am looking for a power cable and HDMI cable for my mini box - changing location but the existing one is hooked up behind wall

Both standard items widely available online.

The Sky-branded HDMI cable is a 'high speed' version (strictly speaking not required for HD from a Mini). If you really want an 'authentic' Sky cable they are available on eBay.

Power is an IEC C7 ('figure-8') in any length you desire.

hi @CGalloway

The minis use standard HDMI cables - you probably only need v1.4 as they only support HD but these days most are 2.0 (or 2.1) anyway

Power cable is standard C7 figure of 8 .

Both can be obtained in various lengths from a variety of sources, quite cheaply

My new sky Q mini box has arrived without any cables or batteries so I cannot connect it

You can buy all of those items locally. Alternatively, contact Sky and see if they will supply them.
