Sean,

I don't know about the box you mention, but maybe this bit of cable might

ork for you:

Here's a picture & description:

- scroll down to=
"Flat RG6 Coaxial Cable"

Maybe you could run a cable into your office through a window, as it's
only=
temporary. I know people who've used one of these in a rented flat abroad =
and had no problems with their satellite reception.

Satcure seem to list something similar, search for "FLATFCON A flat
ribbon =
with "F" connector each end" it's listed at =A312.95 but
please check with =
them before buying to make sure it is what I think it is...
