I need your opinion

I think I've run into an issue concerning my HTPC setup; not enough cable-in lines. When I moved into my apartment, there were no cable-in lines. I subscribed to digital cable and the installer ran 1 line-in in which he split to the DVR STB and my cable modem. I have 2 other rooms with TVs but no cable lines running in them. After getting the OK from the apartment Mngr, I'll submit a request for my Cable subscriber to install another cable-in line (will cost me $75.00)

Now the conflict comes not with paying the $75.00 for a cable-in line for the other 2 rooms, but for the coax line I'd have to use for my pvr-500.
I'm gonna use SageTV with my pvr-500 (s-video to STB to the 500 for my digital signal and coax from wall for analog signals) I'm trying to get around paying $75.00 just to run a coax to my pvr-500.

Any cheaper, but effective ideas?

just 'ask' the cable guy for a wire. they carry like 5000 miles of it in thier truck. surely he will spare a few feet of it...(especially after ripping you for $75!)

...and why are you 'banned'?!?!

He was banned for other posts not related to this one...
