Installing into a New House

Morning All

This post sounds similar to another one on here - but there are differences.

Moving to a new house in the next three weeks or so. The house has been built in someones garden (they used to have a huge garden). All the houses in the road have cable - the cable stops at the pavement outside the drive of next door. I have been informed by the builder there is no reason why the cable can not be run from this spot to the new house as they have put in a service duct which takes the BT phone line from the same point. Does that sound reasonable to you?

In each room of the house is a media panel which contains TV point, radio, LAN and cable point. How will virgin be in connecting the cable TV / internet service to a central point in the house (where the cable enters the house) and then us running the service from what ever room we decide? I have a hunch they would want to put in the service right up to the point where the cable modem / TV is connected? Thing is - I want to avoid running cables all over the house when they are already installed with suitable sockets etc.

(The internet point is not such a great issue as I will probably use WiFi anyway).

Do you suggest I get someone out the survey the whole situation first - and if so will that cost?

thanks for your commments.
