im moving down a floor and the room doesn't have an aerial lead at all.
so my thinking is to take the end off th cable pull it back through the small hole put some sort of suitable outside cable on it and then put it through my new bedroom window which is directly below.
i have absolutely no experience with cables. does this sound sort of ok? where can i buy an outside cable from?
thanks in advance!

If you do as you've suggested and pull out the old cable, you should be left with more slack than before because your going down a floor, therefore no need to buy any cable.

Just undo the end, pull it through, drill a fresh hole if necessary, push through the new hole, stick the end back on it and hay presto.

Just be sure not to let any of the inner and outer cores touch each other, as this will result in poor or no picture quality
