No Coaxial Outlet in Room

Hi, I was mailed Xfinity devices which require a Coax outlet to work. Unfortunately, my room doesn't seem to have a Coax outlet. What should I do?

Thanks!

Coaxial Outlet that should be in the living room area is in a bedroom. No coaxial outlets in my room or living room. Am I stranded?

@user_2yf0tx For coax outlet installations on interior walls you will need to reach out to a local contractor or electrician to have them perform what is call a wall-fish or cut through your drywall and get the cable routed that way. Our technicians only install coax outlets from exterior walls and drill from the outside-in. They will then run the coax line along your exterior siding from the patch panel to the new outlet location and tack it to the side of the home. If you need assistance with setting up an appointment for one of our awesome technicians to do an exterior wall outlet installation go ahead and send us a DM with your first and last name along with your full-service address to get started.
