Hi all,

I recently bought a 4 storey townhouse which has listed status meaning I can't affect the external looks.

I have an existing Sky dish - with the cables running through the basement up into the ground floor floor space.

I also have an existing Virgin (ntl) feed - into the basement.

Knowing the fashion in which Sky et al "install" I'm worried about asking for cables to be run to the basement, 1st floor and 2 floor from the existing feed. The house has recently been completely renovated and with a lot of period plasterwork, etc - I really don't want to run cables through rooms / up walls, etc.

Having been out of the AV game for a while now, I was wondering if there are any wireless or similar products I can buy or if Sky / Virgin all remain resolutely hard line?

Having read all that back, I'm predicting a "Are you crazy?!? Do you know what that would involve?!?" type response but thought I'd try before the house internals are butchered.....!

Many thanks,

Neil
