Wireless cable TV

My condo building has a bulk contract with RCN that includes two Tivo DVRs, among other things. In one room, our cable outlet is in a less than ideal spot on the wall. Short of running a wire some 35' around the perimeter of the room to a better spot, is there a way to set it up wirelessly? I guess we'd prefer to have the Tivo connected to the TV via HDMI (which is how it's currently connected), but instead have no cord between the cable outlet and the Tivo. Failing that, we'd be OK having the Tivo close to the cable outlet and then connected wirelessly to the TV. (That seems awkward because it's counter-intuitive to point a remote at the Tivo if it's in a different spot than the TV.)

FWIW, this is a room that's about 18' x 25'. The cable outlet is on a long wall about 3' from the corner. We'd optimally like the TV on the center of the opposite long wall. (Can't put it in the center of the wall it's currently on because there's a fireplace and we don't want it mounted over the fireplace.)
