Hi Guys, I'm after a realistic outside dummy alarm bell box to cover Sky cable. It's a new house that's wired for Sky, but not used. I'm thinking of an empty bell box to house the Sky cable in case required for later use.
Thanks
 
Texecom dummy ,lol.

all depends on how much cable you want to get in it.

The electricians that wired up all the houses have left the Sky coax cable coiled up by the face brickwork which is enough to reach a dish via wall bracket. Possibly a good metre + cable
 
you'll get 3 -4 m in that box easily.

Great, I've had a browse round. All the dummy boxes appear to be boring in style.
However, I've ordered one with the 2 flashing LED lights
 
Be careful when fitting the coax in the box. It has a minimum bend radius, and will break inside if bend too tightly.

But if it's a dummy, the LED Lights won't be on?
 
it comes with batteries just for the LEDs. right pain when you need to replace them.
