Moving a TiVo box

Would it be possible to move our TiVo box in the back room to our cabin at the end of the garden. The distance is about 35 metres. 
I am also running a cat 6 cable to a WiFi acces point. 
Any particular cable I should use?

Thanks I’m advance

Virgin’s cable is specialised triple screened & is not sold over the counter. As the frequencies used can conflict with Freeview, Digital Radio & Mobile Phones any DIY alterations are not allowed. Also an additional 35 metre run would require signal adjustments in the street cabinet to compensate for the new length of cable or your service will be degraded.

The cost of any non fault callout is £99 which would cover everything required.
