    s-video

    I want to use my PC for playing the divids but watch them on the TV,,
    is there a problem using an S-video cable 10metre long? (do they make them that long?)

    The vid card actually has HDTV but telly too old

    Have a look at this Maximum Cable Length CML-Cinematography Mailing List
    they seem to hint at 18 M being the max not sure

    I use a 10m S-video cable to plug my laptop into my TV (on other side of room) without problems.

    Took me a little bit of shopping around to verify it was an ok length and then to find one, but 10m for s-video is fine..

    I have used:
    cat5 cable with RCA connectors 20m+
    svideo around 8-10m
    d-sub 15pin (pc video connection) well over 20m

    all with little to no visible loss in quality.
    What will loose quality quickly is if you use a Y cable to split you rsignal to more than one secondary output. eg monitor & 1 disply screen is ok
