on an interior wall, it was installed by a contractor of the cable
company. *The new location of the TV is going to be another interior
wall. *I got up in the attic while home for lunch to see if I could
look down between the wall of the bedroom and the wall of the
adjoining bathroom, but there seems to be plywood laying over top the
opening (but not on top of the joists). *Using our home security
wiring as a point of reference (the security control box is on the
same wall that I need to put the new coax outlet on), the installers
for that had drilled holes in the plywood to run their wires. *There
is an unused phone jack on the same wall, I'm considering removing
that and running the coax through that box (it's not even really a
phone jack, just a small glut of wire stuffed into a little box in the
wall, hidden by bedroom furniture), but I am not sure if the wires
come through the attic, or come up from the bottom. *If those wires
come through the attic, I'll try dropping the coax down the same hole
and hope for the best.

Anyway, any advice for someone tackling this kind of project?

Thanks!

- Make an extension for your existing cable.
- Move the TV to the new location and live with it for a week or so,
using the extension.
- If you (and by "you", I mean the lady that gave you the project)
still like the TV in the new location, then start drilling holes.

BTDT, didn't have to drill any holes. ;-)
