Just redecorated the house and the missus now want's to change the layout of the living room. 
She want's the TV and Sky HD box moved from one side of the room to the other. Problem being the cables come from the dish through the outside wall right to where the TV is at the moment. Really don't want to try running extension cable through trunking and around door frames and we have wooden flooring as well. So I was wondering if I could call Sky and have an engineer come out to drill a new hole where the TV is going to go in the other wall and then extend the cable around the side of the house and through the new hole?.
Do they do this at all, does anyone know?. I'm happy to pay whatever charge is involved. If they don't do this usually, any idea what cost would be involved to get a satellite engineer out to do it?. I know I could probably do it myself but to be honest I can't be bothered, would rather pay someone to do the work.
Going to call them tomorrow but wondered if anyone here had asked them to do this. The system was installed a few months ago ( before the missus got her ideas about decorating!!
) and the Sky guy just ran the extra cable required for HD through next to where the old one already was, which was fine at the time.
Ta for any advice.

Sky c/s person said it would be £65 call out fee plus a charge for extra cable and fittings. So I reckon 10 m of coax from B & Q and a few fittings will do the trick. Anyone know exactly what fittings and cable I require?. Is it some sort of fancy HD quality satellite cable or will coax do?.
