Installing new wires in room with hardwood floors

I want to feed a new cable tv wire and Ethernet wire into room with a hardwood floor (going through wall more difficult and thru floors may be less visible).  Wires being fed up thru basement ceiling access.  Need a plug-in style outlet for cable and Ethernet jack access at floor level. Interested in ideas on how to get these wires into a room.

 You can "run" the cables...

It's a very simple job for a pro to put into the wall. You'll be paying a lot for that floor box alone if you go that route.

I suggest you try the inwall yourself if you're handy. The hardest part is knowing exactly where to drill up from the basement.  Just cut out the box location in the wall and after you drill the hole ip, you'll see the cables right there because the box is low to the ground on the wall. 

I'll add this. If you don't want to do that, you can fun the cables and leave them under the location you want them at the wall. Then a pro will just have to drill the hole as mentioned and cut out the hole in the wall and connect. It would be cheaper that way.

20-30 minute job. Good luck.
