Does Comcast require a coaxial outlet for installation?

[Erudition]

I searched through the Internet, but I couldn't find a straight answer. A technician is coming over on Sunday to install 75 Mbps Internet with Comcast's provided gateway (modem/router hybrid), but both of my coaxial outlets are blocked by beds. Before I go moving around one of the beds, I am wondering if they require coaxial outlets at all. I looked at the self-install video, and it indicates that they do, but I also read that they can apparently route some sort of cable without the need for a coaxial outlet. I plan on using Ethernet cables (Cat 6 or 6a) for my devices (PS4 and probably two MacBooks).

I'm sure if you discuss this with them, they can offer some suggestions that you'd be happy with, and that would probably include re-routing a cable instead of having one that's next/behind the bed getting used.....

As it is a cable connection, it does require a coax. And a box on the outside of the house.
Where this is matters not, mostly.

There is a coax line from a box at the street.
This runs to a box on the side of the house.
From there, inside.

If this is a single family residence, they can put the box and incoming coax port wherever you want.
If this is an apartment or condo, things may be different.

Yes a coax is needed because that's how the signal comes in.

If this is a new installation, the guy will run a coax cable from the pole to wherever you want, somewhere with an outside wall and makes a coax plate for you.

However since you already have coax connections into your inside, I wonder if the installer is willing to go to all the trouble of running another cable, just because you don't want to move beds.
