Not to get too far off topic, but how is that physically possible?  The 
advantage of S-video over Composite is that the signals are split into 
seperate wires, thus less compression of color signals.  To me, running 
through RG6 is just like running through Composite, compressing the color 
signal into one wire.  Am I missing something?

As a side note, we've ran 50-100' S-video lengths recently that get great
signal.  I was also considering running through CAT5, but decided it would
be simpler to go the S-vid cable route since I could just use modular
connectors for the wall plates.
