Hi
I am booked to have my services installed on the 30 March and opted to have a 360 mini in the bedroom. As I had sky Q it was done with wifi for the TV but It appears that the mini requires a coax cable - is this correct?
The best option for me would be to run a cable externally up in to the loft and down in to the bedroom where the tv is rather than have cables along skirting. Is that possible or do these cables need to be internally installed?. I would maybe need to do some pre install work if so to be able to pull cable down from attick but its only like 0.5m. Also do they install a face plate at the site of the mini?
thanks

VM use specialised coax, as the frequency spectrum they use is shared by terrestrial TV, Radio & mobile phone services. Ingress from any of these will disrupt their network. You could install a pull wire to get the installers cable where you want. Bear in mind installers only carry short ladders & are not heights trained, so accessing the outside of the roof won’t be possible.

An inline isolator will need to be fitted where the cable enters the room. This comes in the form of an angled outlet surface box.

Thanks for your post @cc1970, do feel free to liaise with our installer on the day and they'll ensure that the cables are fitted in a suitable location for you, both internally and externally
Kindest regards,
