Hi,

I am about to acquire an Apple TV and the Virgin Media V+ service. Both items have component video outputs and support 720p HDTV.

I have a Panasonic HD TV which is mounted to the wall. My main criteria is quality of picture (of course) and a cable/equipment free environment. Consequently the Apple TV and Virgin box will be in the garage. I estimate the cable path from the garage to the TV is approx 20-25m.

What's the best way of connecting over this distance? The choices as I see them are CAT5 using Kat5 or coax? Does anyone have any experience of transmitting component video over these distances? Or any recommendations. Which will give the best picture quality?

Thanks
Ian.
