The only issue really would be with the individual installer having a tantrum.
It might be a good idea(and very helpfull) to pre-drill any holes etc and to make things as easy as possible by moving any objects etc that are in the way.
Im sure most installers would greatly appreciate such actions and do a quality job in very little time at all.
Thanks for that. I have the usual junction box at the front on the house and a cable that comes across the front of the house (but well hidden by the installer) and then down into the side passageway where the cable modem sits off another splitter thing. Would the new cable be able to join on at this point or would it have to come from the front junction box as well?

new digibox would be about 20m from the cable modem connection which is about 6 metres from the junction box out front. Street box thing is about 20m to 30m away. I assume that does not make it too far?

Happy to drill holes if it helps, what diameter would be best?

Thanks
