Where to buy coaxial cable?

I need to change the location of the cable TV jack in my living room. I am going to need somewhere between 25-50 feet. Where is a good place to get good cheap cable? I don't want to get ripped off.

If small spools are available (100ft or less) I may be willing to buy that and put ends on it if the tools required aren't that expensive.

On a side note, is the cable company going to care if I change the 2 way splitter they installed outside of my house to a 3 way splitter?

You could put a 6-way splitter in and they wouldn't care.

Just take into account that splitters lower the signal strength.

Radioshack and you can buy a splitter that can boost the signal as well

Anyone have any tips for bringing a cable tv line into the house? I want to bring it into the basement from the outside. I guess I'm mainly concerned about sealing the hole that I drill so it doesn't develop water problems.
