    In theory I guess you could run the cable from the SKY eye to your tv/UPC box at the side of the house that feeds that outlet in your room (NEAT and tidy)
    BUT AFAIK the cable should be one continuous cable direct from the sky box to the sky eye. The quality may be affected if your using a joiner/splitter.
    Interesting to see what others here reckon. Im no expert thou so more people will be on to give the yay or nay :)

    Yea, they need a straight run of cable with no joins.

    They don't need a striaght run of cable per se, but most of the boxes discontinue the 9v power supply.

    To get around this, I soldered mine to continue the power through the socket and into any cable that you plug into the socket.

    If you don't the signal will be poor, and you wont be able to change the channel.
