Twisted pair cable is designed for long runs of differential signals. The coax connectors on a receiver are designed to output signal and ground/shield. Electrically it is not suited to run over twisted pair. The twists which keep the two wires with common signals close together so any outside influence offsets both equally but does not change the difference between them will not work in a signal + ground situation.

Stick with coax. RG-6 will be good to a bit over 100 feet, if you are going much farther than that, there's RG-11.
