Answer 1

You can get a long cable from the store and run a line from another room - if you don't want to go through the whole installation thing.  If you had satellite, you could run another line from the dish (I don't know the max, but mine has 4 lines).

Answer 2

I did this in my house:  get a drill and drill a hole in your wall which has a room on the other side of it with cable.  Then, attach a splitter to the cable in the other room, and attach a new cable to the remaining spot on your splitter.  Run the cable through the wall and out the hole you drilled.  

This took me (I am not a handyman at all!) like 2 minutes to do.  No need to call anyone to do this for you! :)
