Questions on long AV cable run - 06/26/07 05:35 PM
I think I may have screwed up. I am finishing off my basement and have completed the install of cables for the various pieces of equipment. Sheetrock is installed, finished and painted. I have an HD DirectTv satelliter receiver feeding my main plasma TV. At the last minute, I decided to run a hidden cable to another location in the basement to feed a small LCD tv. Without much thought, I ran a coaxial cable. I am now discovering that coaxial cable was apparently not a good choice, aas the satellite receover does not have a coaxial out, and I have not found any 20" LCD tv's with coaxial inputs.
I could still run different cables at this time, but the cable run would be about 60 feet.
First, is there any way to still use the existing coaxial cable? (I realize that it will not send a HD signal)
Second, what other cable options do I have if I run new cable?
Thanks for your help.
