Howdy,
I have a need (all right, a want) for some way to link the players in my house to TVs 75' to 100' (cable length) away. Why? Long story made short: Laserdisc player and one TV in bedroom, DVD player and other, larger TV in living room.
S-video is a possibility, but not necessary; I'm happy to use composite for this, which means three shielded cables, right? Do I need something heroicly expensive to accomodate this long run?
I've read that S-video beyond 20' or 50' (depending on whom you believe) is a problem and requires an amplifier/repeater of sorts, but what do I know?
Any hints for me will be greatly appreciated.

Do you need stereo in the bedroom? If not, I'd be inclined to put the laserdisc player in the l.r. and connect a 900Mhz wireless unit to the a/v output. Pick this up in the bedroom and feed it through channel 3 to the TV set.
