Im thinking there may be converters / baluns etc that simply convert the f-type connector to rj45, I then run the appropriate cables and then in the new room, convert it back and stick my v+ on the end
The reason I dont think VM will help is that I want this box against an internal wall which would mean running the cable thru inside walls etc

I can categorically state that will not work. You must extend using RF cable and in that case you will need VM to move the box for you. If you move it yourself and there is some problem at a later date they could charge you not only for the visit but also to put things right.
You cannot send RF over cat5. Its against the laws of psychics captain
