I did this for the very reasons you say. (I despise cables running
down the outside of houses) I ran my own cable t the loft and through
a wall box next t the main t.v. The sky-guy apparently wasn't
supposed to enter loft spaces t drill the hole for it at the gable
end. But since I'd saved him the bother of having t run the cable he
did it anyway. If you know exactly where it is going on your wall it
might be best t drill this hole and poke the cable out. I'm afraid I
wasn't very technical in my choice of cable. I went t homebase and
bought the dearest _satellite_ co-ax they had. My total (winding under
the bath etc) to get t the wall box must be 15-20m and I have never
had a signal strength problem.
HTH
