Hi.

I need to run a HDMI cable outside the house to another room with a HD TV. Is it OK to have the cable outside?

Should be ok, as long as it is UV protected and well screened. Make sure you seal the holes at entry points with silicone sealer.

I would also add to make sure you leave a drip loop in the cable.
