Hi @Khulme 

Just look for Satellite Extension cables.

Just bear in mind that you need two cables with the necessary two F connector fittings..

Some come as as a pair or as a twin (shotgun) cable and include the two female F connectors.   However some are single cables where you need two.

You can do this yourself, I did mine a few months ago... Bought the cables off Amazon and move the sky Q box to the other side of the living room.. Works perfectly..

Is that cable in the link able to connect straight to the cables from the wall then into the back of the sky box?
