i noticed a thread a while back about usb cables and how you can't use them over long distances. i was wondering about the same thing except with tv cable/internet cable and ethernet cable. i'm looking to move a computer to another part of the house, away from the spot i originally had it installed. would it be better for internet reception to have my internet cable go fifty feet, or to take my ethernet cable fifty feet. also, will i really lose "reception" with my internet, or am i fine and just worrying about nothing? i'm a mechanical engineer so all this electrical stuff isn't my thing, but it seems like neither should matter, since servers use long ethernet cables and since tv cable gets wired throughout the house anyways...but thanks for anyone who calms my nerves on this.
