Hi
My cable was installed on the very first day that it became Virgin. The engineer put it behind the TV in the living room but I now want it all upstairs basically in the opposite corner of the house.
My question is to do with the white internal wires that come from the white internal cable box on the wall. Does everything enter this box as ONE wire then get split to the TV and to the Broadband Modem? Reason I ask it that the white wires that go to these are the same. Could these actually be switched around and still work the same?
yes and yes...one coax comes in and is split into two they both carry tv and bb frequencys

So given that I have a very long piece of the very same wire can I just extend ONE of these and then split it upstairs rather than run 2 through the house?
with in reason yes the longer the cable the more loss , so run it but dont nail it down before you try it to see if its working ok
