I have Sky Digital upstairs and we want to move it to a different room.

The problem: The big white lead can reach the other room so we're stuck. Unless theres anywhere I can buy a long white cable to replace the current one.

The cable im talking about is the arial (I think) and it connects from the Digibox to the Sky dish on our roof.

Help.

Thank you.

Im not that cool.

The Coax will do me fine.

EDIT | [URL]http://www.cybermarket.co.uk/shopscr128.html[/URL]

Which one would be the best out of these? I have no idea what to get. It doesn't need to be 100metres long though, I dont live in a mansion.

Yup you need Coax, Cookie be correct.

From a different point of view, you could buy a wireless video sender to send a signal to another room. Tis what I use to send Sky Digi signal upstairs and it works a treat.

Dude, don't preach me about sky. :)

You are talking about sticking an RF cable into the RF out 1/2 socket on the back of your digibox, this guy is talking about having to extend the dish input cable that runs from the dish to his box.

Nope ya dont Cookie.

I got sky leeched from downstairs (so I get whatever channel is on downstairs on the sky box) and it's done with normal ariel cable. The quality isn't perfect though. If you want quality I guess you best get the good stuff, otherwise regular ariel cable is fine.

Dunno if you can get it on the net, try ebay maybe? It's best to get it from pretty much ANY electrical or DIY shop.

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
