It's a pretty common approach.
You have to decide on a method to fill it though. The first strike of anything other than a 2 part body filler type will shrink considerably. The problem is 2 part filler is a bitch to sand or carve into shape on the corner of a moulding like that. I use a ready mixed wood filler (you can guess who makes it), let it shrink and then fill it again. It's soft enough to sand or even shape with water on a cloth. Then normally it will disappear under paint.

I'd pull it all the way out and fill the outside as if you leave it part way out sooner or later the wind will catch it and pull it out leaving an unfilled hole.

I think this is something called a 'TV aerial'
Actually I think you'll find that's a coaxial cable. There may well be a TV aerial on the roof ;)
If you're not going to have a TV socket in the house why leave the cable running up the outside? I don't think dealing with the hole would be a big deal?

I think this is something called a 'TV aerial'. Never used it, don't want it.
I can easily reach it on the outside, so figured I'd snip it as close as possible on the inside before tugging slightly back into the hole and making good. Don't want to remove it completely and have to deal with the consequent hole through the wall.
That sound reasonable?
