Hello

I am just about to move in to my new home and and I was wondering if anyone can help me with my issue regarding connecting smart tv with sky box.

the wall that I want my TV on doesnt have TV cables, my question really is that do I need TV cables to connect my TV? Or just HDMI will do the job?

You need two cables from a satellite dish (either your own, or a communal dish) to connect to your Sky Q box, and an HDMI cable between your Sky Q box and your TV.

The only way to avoid cables to the TV (power aside) is to use any in-built apps via WiFi, e.g. iPlayer, NetFlix etc.

All Sky boxes require an HDMI lead to the TV.

Sky Q isxa satellite television platform and requires a cable feed from a satellite dish.

If there's no satellite dish at the address you'll need to book a Sky Home Move to have this installed, and cables brought to the main Q box location.

To get Sky subscription television without a dish and associated dish cabling you'd have to move to Sky Stream.
