Got it all set up now, looks fantastic! Can't say I notice any signal loss myself, and the house looks pretty much the same as I've just tucked the cable under the carpet. Thanks all!

Yeah, they did - they drilled through the downstairs front exterior wall to put the TiVo in, and then drilled through the upstairs front exterior wall to install the socket where I want to connect this new cable to. It wouldn't make any sense to be drilling through walls in this situation as...
