hi all, my satellite dish is about 30m away from my attic bedroom. how would i go about routing the satellite cable into the room?

i possibly can dangle the wire through the skylight window however not really viable as the window no longer would close, so thats out of the question. and routing cable inside house not possible. WHAT WOULD YOU SUGGEST?

would it be possible to get some sort of wireless option? or drill somehow through roof to allow cable to enter the room?

any help would be appreciated. thanks.

did installers not use a flat addon cable that runs in under window and allows it to close.
window frame f cable connector/joiner.

Hi kaisar1,most attic rooms have accessible storage spaces at the lower section of the room at front and back of house for water tanks etc.Is this the case with your room? If so,I would suggest drilling a 8/10mm hole up through the soffit,and pushing 4/5 metres of co ax up into the attic,then straighten out a wire coat hanger and form a small bend on one end,grab a torch if required and go fishing for your co ax.
