Sky in outbuilding

Hi,

 

I have a home office around 60m from house.

i would like to watch sky while down there, but know the mini box won't work due to distance.

Unfortunately I have no spare cat 5/6 cables to the building to piggy back on.

 

Does anyone know a way?...obviously Sky glass or Stream puck would work...but as I already have sky Q it appears I can't get them.

 

thanks in advance for any ideas.

It would depend on your mains cables but many customers use Powerline adapters instead of ethernet for the whole distance for outbuildings

What do you mean "no spare" cat5? So you do have some cat5 going there? Can't you just stick an ethernet switch on the end of that?

 

Do you have Sky BB?
