Sky/Satellite installer (Bristol area)

[Mag1calTrev0r]

I need somebody to install a new cable for my Sky HD box and I'm based in Bristol

The room is on the first floor and the dish is fixed to one side of the wall with Sky box on the other side. When the original install was done the cable went through the wall too high which is a bit unsightly so I'd like to get another hole drilled and a new longer cable fitted.

A picture paints a thousand words:


I'm going to take the skirting board off and I'd like a hole drilled through a 400mm wall (brick, breezeblock and plasterboard) and a new cable fitted to the sky dish on the other side of the wall.

Obviously I'm happy to pay beer money for somebody to do this for me.

Thanks

If that were me, I'd chisel out a square round the existing cable and put in a dual female F connector socket.

That was an option but I also don't really want a socket part way up the wall. I suppose I could but I'd prefer not to.

I'm also planning on running a Cat5 through the same hole and then behind the skirting board.

Thanks for the suggestion though

Removing the skirting/scotia can be a right old faff. Another option would be to run a bit of trunking along the skirting, you can get half-circle trunking which, run end-to-end along the skirting, can be quite discreet.

Cheers Hairyben, I've actually got a load of D-Line trunking. It's too big for what I need but thanks anyway
