You can buy ready-made cables in various lengths so you could run one internally around the skirting board or under the carpet.

You could buy stranded cat 5 cable, some RJ45 plugs and a crimping tool to allow you to make up a cable to exactly the right length.

Alternatively, you can buy wall mounted sockets and solid-core cat5 cable and run it between a socket by the router, externally round the wall to a socket by your TV, then 2 short patch cables to connect each socket to its' destination (router to one socket, TV to the other).

Legally, you are not allowed to touch the exchange side of the Network Termination point.

So for those with an NTE5, thats the test socket behind the faceplate. For those with traditional Master sockets, hardwired, or Plan 4's, that means everything.
