Oh, you don't want to do long cable runs with unbalanced analogue cables. Signal degradation becomes a real issue and properly shielded versions tend to be expensive.

Depending on the distance, I'd recommend a HDMI splitter as even cheap LCD TVs tend to have HDMI inputs now. I have a 15m HDMI cable and it works perfectly... you could daisy chain them together with a signal booster and potentially get 30m or 45m, hopefully without visual artifacts like sparklies.
