Exactly. with wall to wall carpeting the 'tacking strip' parallels
the wall making a nice trough for the coax to lie in.

its important to match the coax to the application. like RG59 is NOT
recoommended for satellite installations.

Your better off carefully removing the baseboard and running the coax
behind it

Thanks. Its a 20' run to my bedroom tv. The problem is it has to go by
a sliding glass door, that doesn't leave much space between the
aluminum door plate and carpet.

Or could I run a 20' RCA type cable? Would that pick up a lot of noise?
