Broken HDMI cable on Sky box
I have bought a new TV which is mounted on the wall. All cables run in a duct chased in the wall behind. In replacing the TV, the end of the HDMI cable has broken down. I therefore need a new cable of 2m or more. However I am wondering that if in future I need a Q box will it have the same connection. We did try a Q box before but it had problems. However we now have Sky fibre so maybe a Q box might work better? Finally, is there a way to receive Sky without a box? Maybe through NOW TV? Please advise.

Yes. It uses an HDMI cable to connect to your TV

It depends what the problems were. A fibre broadband connection will improve streaming (Sky Q includes apps which stream) and On Demand.
Finally, is there a way to receive Sky without a box?
Yes. Sky Stream makes use of a 'Puck'. a small set top box (which also connects to your TV via an HDMI cable) to stream content and live programming.
Maybe through NOW TV? Please advise.
