See, if I had only bought that HT pre/pro that I had my eye on a couple of weeks ago, I wouldn't have this problem.

Instead I bought a lounge-style Italian leather sectional that can only be positioned on the same wall as the cable outlet. This means that the plasma will need to be moved to the opposite wall where no cable outlet presently exists.

After speaking to Comcast this morning, I'm told that they'd have to drill in order to do a "clean" install. This after suggesting that I run the cable up the wall, across the ceiling, and down the other side of the wall. (If looks could kill I'd be serving two life sentences right now. Where do they find these cable installers anyway?) No problem if I were living in a house. Big problem if you're renting, apparently.

Drilling is not an option, per the renter's contract, so my only options are (1.) to return the swank sectional for a smaller form factor (too late, love the damn thing and the cost to return ship makes returning it a pricey option); or (2) see if there really is such a thing as thin/flat coaxial cable that I can run imperceptibly under the Persian rug. I'm told such a thing exists, but who makes it and does it perform well?

Suggestions anyone? Pertinent suggestions, I mean. I've already heard the "Go **** yourself!" number from my landlord when I tried to retroactively maneuver drilling into my leasing contract.
