Accessing the ports when Sky Glass is wall mounted

[Elwin]

is there an art to getting anything connected to the HDM ports when Sky Glass is mounted? i need slim 10 inch fingers to attach anything!

Certainly not the easiest thing.  Might be helped by knowing the relative layout:

From L to R that's power, ethernet, HDMI 1, HDMI 2, HDMI 3, USB-C (for Live camera) and coaxial aerial.

Obviously reversed when looking at a wall-mounted set.

thanks for the layout, but that still doesn't solve the mystery as to how anyone is able to connect with the ports!

Using more rigid cabling helps: HDMI cables come in various diametres.

The set should tilt forward slightly at the bottom on the Sky-supplied wallplate, but then care must be taken not to lift it off its top lugs.

There are some short HDMI extenders available online which look pretty robust.

Mmm, an extra cost, but they could work

Oh dear. Do you have accidental damage cover as part of your home contents insurance policy?
