I'm about to move into my new house on Sat, and have a service move/50MB upgrade booked in for Sat morning. Shouldn't be too bad as the house already has Virgin installed there. Thing is, we're actually thinking of having the second Vbox finally hooked up (on a VIP package, but didn't have room for an extra TV at the old flat).
We've decided to have it installed in the back bedroom, which we will be using as the master bedroom. It has a small room coming off it.
In the small room is what looks like a Virgin cable poking from behind the steps that lead into it (it's 2 steps lower than the bedroom) and on the landlords inventory it was listed as "Internet cable".
We're having our internet installed downstairs.
Due to the odd layout of the house, would it be possible for the engineer to repurpose this "internet cable" and just drill a small hole into the wall and poke it through into the main bedroom? It would actually end up on the side of the room that we want the TV to be when we get another one.
Also, the Virgin box on the wall in the living room is on the opposite side of the room to where we're having the TV. Would the engineers be willing to poke a hole through the floor, as close to the wall as possible, to feed the cable through to the basement? There's already the TV aeriel and some satellite dish cables poking up from the basement exactly where we want the TV to be.
The only other alternative is to pin the cable to the skirting board and run it around the entire room, which seems to me to be a waste of time and cable (and will not be as organised as I'd like).
Thanks in advance.
