I've run coax underground before with no problems. Be sure to sleeve it with some schedule 40 plastic pipe and have it eight or so inches deep. Just in case someone needs to dig or you have your lawn aerated or the likes.

will pvc pipe do ?

The only tip I would add to this is to leave the ends of your underground conduit open so that they can "breathe", but not pointing up so as to get rained in. This will also allow you to blow your underground dry about once a year with compressed air. Any underground conduit will eventually fill up with moisture even if you seal the ends. I have a 150' run of coax underground that is over 20 years old and still megs out as perfect.

Yeah, I should have said that. PVC is what I was referring to. Schedule 40 is thicker walled stuff so as to avoid accidental breakage. 1 inch in should accommodate coax and connectors although the thicker pipe has smaller inside diameter.
