Could someone help me. The length given on the power cable and HDMI cable for the stream puck isn't enough for where I need the puck to be, and the distance from the TV, so I need much longer cables. Are these available to buy? And if so, do I have to buy specific ones? Preferably 2 metres
Thankyou

Any standard HDMI cable of any length will be able to work. I've tried a couple on my stream box with no issues. I'm no electrician so can't comment on the power cord. Maybe run an extention lead from the wall and plug the stream into the extension.

I wouldn't recommend any length of HDMI cable. Any high speed cable of less than 3 metres should work.
I always recommend cheap certified HDMI 2.1 cables. They are inexpensive, future proof and allow the highest bandwidth of signal to be sent. I replaced all my cabling a couple of years ago and have had no issues with any audio or video formats in that time.
