Freesat Box Power

[joec1985]

Dont know if this is the right place but here goes. I got an electric outlet and satellite cable fitted on the wall so I can hang my TV with no cables showing. Had it done in my bedrooms and I am lucky to have a Panasonic Viera with Freesat built in so the cable just goes straight in from the LNB. In the other room I have the TV up and was going to get a little Freesat Box picture however the plug looks huge and no way will it fit behind the TV. Is there any way around this? Can I get a plug with a smaller head and not one that sticks out? Thanks in advance.

was going to get a little Freesat Box

That shows a European plug so you won't be able to use it.

A British one will be a little smaller with the pins coming straight out of the main part of the power supply.

That's not a UK plug. It will probably arrive with something different.
If it's still too big you have various options. I'd wait and see what arrives and check the rating of the supply.

Would be one of these but that still sticks out to far

If the box needs a 5V supply, I'd consider using a socket with a USB socket.

Thanks so you mean something like this?

 

[endecotp]

Yes but you would need to check the voltage ans current required, as well as the plug size.

I doubt that is a Freesat box. I guess it is a free to air satellite box especially with a European plug.

I also doubt that it will run off 5 volts. Most need 12 volts. You can get power supplies that are not wall worts. Something like this,
