Moving sky Q box

To cut a long story short, my sky W box is in front of my window in the front room. I want to move it to the other side of the same room but the cable doesn't reach. Is there anything that can sort this? Thanks

@OllieParker05  you can either call Sky to arrange rerouting of satellite cables (think they charge £65), go through a local satellite repair company or buy some co-axial satellite extension cables from amazon or the like and attempt it yourself.

Hi @OllieParker05 

If the new location is on an exterior wall then it may be possible for Sky to relocate or install new dish cables.

If it is not then the only likely option is to use satellite extensions cabkes which are readily available online in a suitable length.

hi @OllieParker05 

 

You can get Satellite Extension cables in differening lengths from a range of sources - you need twin canle for SKY Q & make sure they include F-F connectors to connect to the existing cable (I think most do)
