Tv cable

I moved house recently and have lost the cable which connects my sky q mini box the TV. Where can I get a replacement? The mini box does not have a hdmi port but has 3 Ethernet ports. 1 pink mini port and 2 yellow ports

hi @Teddy2step 

 

I suspect these are not all ethernet ports

 

Are you able to post an image of the Ports or maybe let us know the make & model of your TV

Hi @Teddy2step 

You need a standard HDMI cable for a Sky Q mini which does have a HDMI port.

The pink mini port is a standard HDMI connection.

You are describing a Sky Q Hub (internet router) for broadband, not a Q Mini box for television. The 'pink mini port' is RJ11 for a cable to a phone wall socket rather than RJ45 for ethernet.

The absence of HDMI is a bit of a clue it's not intended to connect to a TV.

For reference, the rear of a Q Mini box looks like this

 From left to right that's power, reset button, ethernet, HDMI, AV, SPDIF, USB
