Installing 3 Sky boxes

Hello people.

I have a query that i would like answering from the more knowledgeable than myself among you.

My friends have just got a pub that is being refurbished, and they have asked me to run the Cables in which is fine.
so the pub is having 3 sky boxes behind the bar in a cupboard.
my question is i am running 3 sets of Cable from the LNB to the Sky boxes.

But how would the sky boxes then feed the tv's ??

apparently where i am running the cable to there is a bunch of cable {not coax } that an electrician has already run in for the purpose of feeding the tv,s.

I just have no idea what kind of cable it is, it looks like small twin cable of some sort.

very vague i know but any answers on how you would feed the tv,s will help me get my head round it.

thanks

Re: Install 3box

Surely the TVs would be using HDMI if they are new TVs.

Also wouldn't Sky be installing them?

If they are a long distance away it may be hdmi over ethernet

Sky wanted £600 lol

so run cables to where all 3 boxes will be and then from there use HDMI over ethernet.

i will have to go and look tomorrow and see what the electrician has done.

i dont understand why they have charged so much just to run 3 cables into the pub behind the bar.
