Buy some satellite cable eg RG6 or wf100, and some screw-on F-connectors, find a suitable route for it to go and away you go.

Though bear in mind, come N3 you'll be firked anyway, as the box won't work, you'd need to pay VM £9.50 per month for the extra box rental, hardly seems worth the effort for the short amount of time you may have.

That was my attitude, I ran cable upstairs.

I have just had virgin give me for 2 months foc all the channels (no sport or film) I prefer my Eurovox, as far as HD goes I cant see so little diffence in the picture I cant even be bothered to watch the hd stuff
