Default Installing a cable jack in underground basement

I require a second coaxial cable to be run into my finished underground
basement (from a second signal source). I've posted a photo diagram
(http://snice.net/basement.jpg) to illustrate what I'm working with.

As you can see, the outside wall is concrete foundation, which prevents an
easy drilling solution. My guess is that the existing cable was run when
the basement was being finished. Now that the wall is finished, what are my
options for installing a new jack alongside my existing one? Having a jack
high on the wall isn't acceptable to me for aesthetic reasons. Can it be
wall-fished, or is my only option to dig alongside the foundation and drill
a hole at the desired spot? If so, does drilling the foundation
significantly comprimise the structural/watertight integrity of the
foundation?

Thanks for any input.
