Move tv and box connections won’t reach help

New sofa and tv has to move. Smart tv so can get Netflix etc via WiFi. 
however the cable to tv, hdmi if I remember won’t reach. 
can this be sent via house wiring via plugs etc if I got a longer hdmi it would be going across a door opening. 
read somewhere that I could book an engineer to move the box. Is that correct?

 Thanks

You can request a no-fault tech callout to have in-home connections & cabling moved, it will cost a flat-fee £25

A VM person should be able to help but may take a few days to get here.   Calling in will be quicker - try at 08.00 and you should get through quickly.

You can also text VM on 0753 305 1809 include account name/number and what the issue is, there is also a “Chat” option on their website - but note that replies can take longer. Or you can speak to the team on WhatsApp by logging into your online account via a mobile handset and there will be a link to speak to VM by Whats App (the number is 0730 532 71120 - but again... no guarantee on timing)

You can call 0345 4541111 from any working phone, landline or mobile. An 03x call is the same charge rate as a landline call.

Hey Notebook64,

Welcome back to the community and thanks for taking the time to post.
I have looked into this and can see that you haven't yet spoken to the team to have this looked into, I can arrange an appointment from here but would need to confirm a few details via a private message, that I will drop over in a moment. Please look out for the private message and we can get started. As japitts advised, there will be a £25 call out fee to complete this work
Kind Regards,
Steven_L
