Hello all!

I have a (hopefully) very quick question that I hope you can help me with. I'm having a blonde moment...

I am in the process of re-organising our living room. Currently the SkyQ / Virgin Broadband all comes into the house in the corner of the room where the TV is. I want to move the TV into the middle of that wall, rather than at the end of the wall where it is now. I need to call an electrician out to quote for moving power sockets etc. but who do I call who can move the Sky / Virgin stuff? I want all the cables hidden / channelled into the wall. Do I have to call Sky and Virgin invidivually for them to come and do it, or is there some sort of specialist who does these things? I am trying to find tradespersons to call and come to look, but I'm not entirely sure what I should be searching for.

Can you help?

Any help appreciated!

Apologies if I have posted this in the wrong place...

Thank you!
 
When we moved our TV from the corner of the living room to the middle of the wall I got a local TV/satellite engineer to do it. Don't phone Sky & Virgin, not sure they'd be interested but if they were would probably charge far too much. A quick google search for engineers in your area should come up with plenty of results.
 
If the Virgin socket is the "master" socket (first socket attachec to their incoming cable from Street box) then officially only VM can touch that socket. You can attach extension cables to the front of it (not inside it) and then hide those cables to an extension socket. Same also applies to BT phone sockets. The Sky cables are not a problem but the best practice would be to fit new cables from the dish rather than joining cables allthough there should be few problems unless the join is buried in the wall.
