Re: How exactly is Cable installed?

I too would like to know more about this. VM's site says:
Quote:
We run a pencil thin cable from our network, underground through your front garden (where appropriate), to an unobtrusive box which we fix to the outside of your home.
Does this mean they will bury the cable in the front garden? What if i have a block paved drive - will they then run it overground or will they start digging stuff up? There is no way of getting to my house from the front without going on or under this kind of hard landscaping. I dont want a wire trailing across because it will look crap.

The builder who did our house said he was going to get them all connected at the time but at that point (about seven years ago) he was concerned about NTL's financial stability and also level of service. I reckon he was just being cheap.

Once the brown box is on the front of the house, in my case the TV point will be through a hallway and the length of the living room right to the back of the house. Will they run internal wiring from there? Is it generally noticeably (just stuck to the top of the skirting board) and if so how think are the wires - normall satellite cable thickness?

If the cabling is going the be messy i might as well just get sky since the wires will be able to come straight in where the TV goes.

Thanks in advance for any help
