I've run an aerial and sky lead lead through a plasterboard wall

not sure what you call it but I was after some kind of double
gromit ? to feed the cable in to to look neater ?

On the otherside I have ordered a white plastic face socket doodah
with a connection for sky and an aerial so that end will look tidy.

Use a cooker cable outlet.

That's an expensive faceplate:-)


When my parents went SkyPlus my Dad was expecting a nice faceplate
with 2 sat connectors and 2 TV connectors. He got a white faceplate
with 4 holes drilled in it and no extra joints in the cable.


Are these the Sky ones mentioned earlier?

Dunno, but I installed the cables at my Dad's! I sank them into the plaster
when they decorated the lounge a couple of years earlier. Odd that for two
years they never noticed 3 CT100 cables coiled up behind their TV:-)
