... have a flat screen tv, with Sky, on a ceiling
I ask because my living room tv is a 2nd hand colour portable set ... & ... considering how little time I spend in the best room in the house ... & ... how little time I actually watch tv there ... well I'd relax & watch more of what I want on tv 'whilst in me pit' 
I don't want to find a tv man or contact Sky just yet 'cos they'd brow-beat me so-to-speak
In addition, as said elsewhere on this forum, I'm after a tablet, because it also would improve my quality of life, like what I've said above, & get me outside my home ... I could go to cpw but I don't want to have them brow-beat me either
Money is a concern ... I don't particularly want something cheap & nasty, just something I can take out, using earphones, whilst eg enjoying a drink outside my home ... any suggestions would be appreciated
Thank you

I don't think a large screen TV on your bedroom ceiling is a great idea. Might be too dangerous and it would cost a lot to make certain it was secure, and there would be trails of long cables as well. Better have a rethink, I think.

Hi Jane....A TV on the ceiling ? I wouldn't even consider it. Sounds far too dangerous to me 
As for tablets....do you want 7 in or 10in devices? I presume as you have a Windows phone you are looking for a windows tablet? If so,Techrader have done a round up on what they feel are the best 6
So many to choose from really and many different outlets to buy...(where the price will vary if you compare them )
thank you @Bambino & @Cleoriff
as a btw there is not enough wall, in the right place for a wall mounted flat screen tv
the review you pointed me too is a great help Cleo, I can't afford to play with 'the big boys' like on here, & really I don't need an all singing & dancing tablet ... as you so rightly ascertained a Windows 10 tablet is what I'm after
thank you both again

Spitting feathers here 
have just been on to Sky to ask them to move the Sky box upstairs onto a unit & my tv ... after a long wait I was told the engineer could move the Sky box but not the tv ... I would struggle to get the tv upstairs ... he stupidly asked me if I had any friends or relatives who would help do that, answer is NO ... & ... the Sky engineer would not be able to connect the tv to the Sky box, so... erm ... how would I know if it is working ... I've been a customer of Sky Broadband for several years & Sky tv much longer
Told the operator Andrew I was shocked at this service

thank you @Beenherebefore ... you've hit the nail on the head ... & ... I don't know anyone reliable to do a job like that, my ceilings are lath & plaster
Still fuming about the lack of what Sky can offer ... I even said if you tell me which cable goes where I will do it, then we can test the system, but the operator said NO
Not everyone has people be it family or friends they can call upon to do jobs, & personally I don't like to use people, I'm not that kind of person,
so much for trying

But if you go ahead, to ensure it is safe, you should get somebody who knows what they're doing to fit it.
Totally agree with the above! I got my dad to fit mine properly with right brackets, fixings and screws. He then hung off of it to prove it was safe
