If you pull the hdmi cable out of a device and touch the end. Should you get a small electric shock. Just a mild tingle. Not a jolt.

Something is up here. Every thing is tingly to touch.

Not with HDMI but I've had that before. Is there a sky box in the mix? Sky sends enough voltage out on the feeds to let you know. Another possibility is if you've got a booster in the loft, I've had shocks from them before. I solved by not touching.

I've also had a mild tingling from touching an aerial cable, was only attached to the wall but downstairs we have some strange booster arrangement

Was it like putting your tongue on the tip of a 9v battery

Connect everything to a decent extension cable like a belkin smart one and it should resolve your electrifying issue

It's usually a case of poor grounding within a device or extension lead ect.
