A couple of months ago I decided to finish off our main bedroom and at the time we had sky tv in the room. We bought a new tv which I have hung on the wall but before doing this I asked the wife if she still wanted sky tv in the room because I intended to sink the cables into the wall and put the sockets behind the tv, she said no digital would be enough. Guess what, she now wants Sky tv and a dvd player. So is there anything I can buy to save me having to chase the walls out again, replastering and painting :'(

DVD and sky box below will sit on the unit below the TV.

SkyHD box or regular +?

there are some devices that send the signals to a receiver, but youve got that to house as well.
Such a shame, but I would probably go for some of the decorative trunking you can get

I've got a separate Sky+ box for upstairs.

As far as I can see, you have two choices:
1) Continue being a wimpy bastard and get your tools out.
2) Tell your missus that you are not going to start the job again just because she changed her mind.
HTH.

Yes, a spine, tell her straight to sod off.
And let it be a lesson to you, woman are indecisive so never ask them such questions in the future and default to the max install

We agree. At last. ;D

You can get wireless devices, that send video (most can't do HD) but they still need a scart cable going to the TV :(

Its not the first time Steve. In the bathroom she wanted a wash basin that stands on a unit so I left the water pipes exposed and tiled behind them because the unit would hide them. She then decided she wanted a wash basin that fixes to the wall with no pedestal >:( I had to smash the tiles off, sink the pipes, retile then fit the new wash basin. It didnt end there, She decided after I fitted the second set of taps she bought for the second wash basin she didn't like them so we had a third set ::)

Apart from the fact that you clearly don't learn ( :D ), when you go to the lengths of sinking cables you should really do more than you need unless you put an oversize conduit in with a draw-cord if necessary.
You don't say what cables you've run already. If it's RF for Freeview and the tv has an analogue tuner, you can modulate the sky box/dvd as analogue stations and mix them with the aerial feed in the roof or wherever. Quality will suffer obviously.

She wanted to laugh at something new, she's tired of laughing at you, hence she falls asleep ;D

Back to the subject! :y This may be a tad overkill & expensive but you could go down the route of a slingbox and slinglink if you have spare plugs behind the tv. Although you may need a small shelf to put them on.

I would feed the Sky signal using a remote extender via RF. You will lose some quality over feeding RGB in via SCRT but you won't need a multiroom package or to gouge out the wall.
Could feed the DVD player via RF as well, I suppose. Might need an external modulator these days.
If your wife is anything like Mrs. KW you'll just get a blank look when you mention that the picture quality is a bit disappointing - so why bother? ::)

Get a Divorce ::) . Or just do your own thing from the start, seems you may well be one step in front of her before you begin a job (maybe you know her better than you think) :y

aye for such a small distance conduit ive just done mine and the wall has patterned paper so we matched the pattern strips and glued them onto conduit,looks cock on :y

I've got a separate Sky+ box for upstairs.

I have one here, I got from Germany and it does normal tv/dvd fine. It is slim enough to hide behind a TV like yours, I will try and dig it out and find the make :y

Pete I got a digi sender for mine from tesco,one goes downstairs connected to sky box other upstairs to tv think it was £20 odd :y :y
