Existing cables and SKY

DubTony · 2010-11-04 17:48:22

I'm considering changing from UPC to Sky. The wife can just about bear the satellite dish on the wall, but has a real problem with the cable trailing down the walls. Am I right in saying that Sky won't or can't connect to the existing cables in the house? And if so, does anyone know why not?

If you mean can you cut the cable and connect it to the dish instead then the answer is yes it should work.

Did just that for my parents (had UPC MMDS) about two months ago.

But Skyman may not want to do it.
