Hi guys, just looking for a little advice please. If this isn't the correct forum for it then please move

I'm going to be changing some rooms about in my house and was thinking of moving my HD box upstairs to a different room. At the moment I have a single cable coming up from the cellar into a splitter and then separate cables feeding the box and broadband in the same room.

I would need to disconnect the box, replace the TV cable from the splitter with a longer one and run it upstairs where I'd reconnect the box.

My question is am I allowed to do this myself? Seems much easier than waiting on an engineer to come out. If I need an engineer, is there a charge for this?

Thanks a lot for any advice!
