Discussion topic: Relocate Q box

I want to relocate a q box. Would it be better to get the relocate process completed first as we want to bury the cabling so it's hidden

Not sure exactly what cables you are trying to bury but Sky will move the external cable entrance point for around £65. They won't 'bury' cables.

I am just another Sky customer and my views are my own even if you don't like the answers

Remember that it's crucial to test all cabling (particularly HDMI at UHD resolution) before burying or embedding it.

Ideally, put it in duct rather than permanently sealing it in place.

If not in duct, consider using a better grade of HDMI than you need now for future resilience.

Maybe add an ethernet cable for potential future streaming use: Q has about five years left at most.
