    Hi forum,

    would any of ye know a place where I could buy Coaxle Cable for a Sky+ box. I'm looking for twin cable, approximately 15 meters.

    I've gone to Maplin and they only have single cable and suggested I just get 30 meters and cut it myself and feed both cables into the PVR. No problem, Im well able to manage that but its gonna be pure messy though . Ran across the road to Woodies and they had nothing.

    Seen a website tht sells it, but only in reels of 100 meters. This is a DIY install and I only need 15 meters.

    Any ideas?

    Costello and Gibbons next to Galway City Gym and Frends are very good for bits and pieces.

    I got some in B&Q, I didn't need much. Expensive enough if you need a lot.

    +1 for Flaherty markets,
    Never buy anything Electrical at B+Q
    Costello and Gibbons are very good to.

    The twin cable is called Shotgun cable

    If you need to buy a complete kit online including the proper '100' rated shielded cable then use tvtrade.ie or vanjak.com in Belfast.

    B&Q sell cheap '100' rated outdoor low loss cable in short lengths, PF100 I think they call it. Well worth it if you only need 10-20m or so. That is all I would ever buy in B&Q though.
