Sky Cable too Short....

[photoshop]

Hi

I've recently changed the location of my TV and the sky box but the sky cable is too short to reach the sky box at this new location. Im talking about the cable that comes from outside the house.

Does anyone know if i can get an extention kit/cable to extend the reach of the sky cable...?

Any hints to where would also be appreciated.

EDIT: Is this the cable i need:

?

Yup that will do, Sky just use standard F Connectors and coax cable.

Just go to your local electronics store and ask them for Sky cable with F connectors, should be cheaper and quicker than ordering online too!

Cheers for that. Just ordered one online, 2m for £25 including P&P. I probably would get it cheaper if i went to a retailer but i just dont get time. I leave at 7am to go to work and get back 7.30pm

£25!

Can pick these up for a couple of quid... (online and offline)

Would it not lessen the quality?

Some F connectors and that much coax is worth around a quid :/

You are always better off with a continuos run of cable.You will lose some signal with an extension cable.
You can buy ct100 equivalent satellite cable for about 50p/metre

You will lose some signal strength but providing you have a correctly aligned dish it won't make any difference. It's the connectors which cause the most loss - no matter how expensive they are, not the cable itself.
