Sky in 2nd Room with 2nd cable from sky dish?

Hello

I've tried the help articles but it feels like my situation is a little too specific. I feel like the answer will be no but perhaps someone can help. 

 

I have my Sky box in my living room which is at the opposite end of the house from the main bedroom. I want to get Sky on the TV in the main bedroom. It is too far from the skybox to run a cable between the two and although it's a smart TV, it's also too far from the router and the walls are too thick to connect to the internet. 

 

However, the main bedroom is right beside the sky dish. There are two coaxil cables running directly into the main bedroom from the dish. 

 

It doesn't seem like this is a suitable situation for a multi-room set-up, or it would seem a TLink set-up. 

 

Is there anyway to use those cables from the sky dish? Is there anyway to get sky in this room without running a massive cable from the skybox in the living room?

 

Thanks in advance.

For just 'live' (broadcast) TV, a multiway LNB on the dish with a Sky+ Multiroom box and subscription is appropriate, however Sky don't generally now sell new Multiroom.  This won't work for Sky Q.

@Renee47 if the cables in your bedroom are connected to the dish, you can use a second Sky box to receive the free to air Freesat channels (almost the same as you would receive via a TV aerial). For access to all the channels you subscribe to, you would need a Multiscreen subscription, which as @TimmyBGood has indicated, Sky no longer market. They might agree to a Mutiscreen subscription if no installation work by them is needed, but there's no guarantee.
