DIY Question- setting up a TV point in a room that doesn’t have one

DH and I are moving house next week (if you’re familiar with my previous threads you’ll know how happy this makes me!) and today we went to visit the new flat to measure up etc.

We’re planning on switching the master bedroom and living room around, but discovered today that the only TV point in the whole flat is in what is currently the living room.

Obviously we’d rather just install a TV point in what will be the living room rather than having cables running all over the place, but is that a particularly difficult task? Would it be a simple (and hopefully not too expensive) job for an electrician to do?

Do you mean power point of signal?
If it's for signal you need an ariel guy (cheaper than electrician) who can put a feed in, is there a communal ariel or do you have your own per flat?

I have got these in three rooms - amazing reception, really recommend them.

I bought a new tv last week and put the old one in spare room. Didn't need the Firestick dongle in new tv so left it in old one. Works perfectly through household Wi-Fi with no aerial. BBC through Iplayer. Recommend this, no extra wiring or boxes to faff with.

I mean for signal- we’re planning on getting Sky. No idea if it’s a communal aerial, there’s already more than one dish on the building so I’m guessing not...

When you have the sky installed they will run the satellite cable to the room of your choice so you just need power Smile
