Do I have to call AT&T Uverse to move TV to another cable outlet?

i want o move my furniture but I think the installer only set it up to where the TV is now. I want to move it to the other side of the living room where there is another cable outlet but do I have to call them to come set it up. Will there be another charge.|||If the inside wiring to the new outlet goes to the same splitter that feeds the original outlet, it should work as-is. Just move your U-Verse receiver and TV, and try it. Be sure to follow the boot-up process shown on the label on the front of the receiver.



If you try this and get no signal, then the new outlet isn't connected back to the same cable wiring in your home that feeds your U-Verse receiver(s). Anyone skilled with such work, such as a licensed electrician or a knowledgeable and experienced do-it-yourselfer could deal with with. But if you need to pay someone to do it for you, call AT%26amp;T. That way any new wiring will be exactly to their standards, and they'll get it set up and working for you before they leave.

Followup: you could try it without moving your TV or the receiver. Go to a hardware store or home improvement center, visit the electrical department, and buy a long coaxial cable extension with the TV fittings on both ends. They come in various lengths up to 50 feet. Connect the proposed new outlet to your U-Verse receiver where it sits now, and see what you get. Then proceed as suggested above.
