With most leads like HDMI being ready made, you'd need to ensure your conduit is a good diameter.

The VM cable feed would only get altered, relocated, extended by VM if you pay a fee. No other reason for them to come to site to do that. You could do your own cable extension, but that is not recommended as get it wrong and you'll affect your service quality and you do need a proper cable quality wring , not just any old aerial co-axial.

The biggest issue is technology keeps moving on. 5 years ago few of us would have heard of HDMI. Chances are a cable you install now would be redundant in a few years time. So how future proof are you seeking to be?
