I want to move my sky box to a different room. I assume that this should be a simple case of removing the cables from the box and then rerouting them outside the house so that they come into the correct room. Are the plugs (the ones that go into the box) on the end of the sky cables easy to take on and off as I think I will need to take them off to feed the cables through the hole in the wall.

Anything else I need to be aware of?

Yes, they just unscrew.

That gets them off the box but if I need to take the connectors off the cables in order to be able to push the cable through the wall is that bit easy?

They are screwed onto the wire also, the inside of the connector has a thread tapped into it.

Is it worth getting a multiple LNB (Quad LNB = £10 on fleabay) then setting up another run of coax, then if you want to move the box back the wiring will be place in both locations?
