SWMBO wants to re arrange the lounge. Everything on the left is going
to the right & vice versa.

TV cables will need extending, no problem, I can buy a Sky twin cable
extension kit.

But we have what looks like a conventional aerial cable plugged into the
TV. Since we only watch the terrestrial channels via Sky - do I need
this connected as well?

I would connect it as insurance against the Sky box failing for any
reason.

You won't be popular with SWMBO if she misses her favourite program
because you saved a couple of bob on a 3rd coax.

Short answer, no, you don't *need* it. Unless you watch Freeview on the
telly. Or your Sky box/dish go wobbly every now and then, or you're using
all the Sky tuners to record stuff and you want to watch another channel,
etc etc.

I always found it handy to keep it connected, but it's not essential. Some
TVs receive firmware updates through them, but they're not very frequent and
you could probably download it and use a USB stick instead.

Wouldn't buying her a pair of reversing goggles be easier?

Don't forget the phone cable for the Skybox to phone home.

No, unless there is something else going on we are not aware of!
