Just for fun you might pick up a really long composite cable or a couple coaxial to rca style adapters to make one with coax easily. Unless your going over a couple hundred foot (and maybe not then), I'd bet the composite will still be better. It might be expensive to get a good svideo cable thats really long though.

What exactly is the "large distance"?

Also note that you can amplify composite and svideo signals.

"(and the composite ports on my cable
box are very poor quality - VERY staticy)."

It sounds like you have a bad cable box or something.. Well you can also get an inline combiner that takes s-video and converts it to composite...

On a PVR-350, Is it possible to use the tuner input and the serial
channel change for the digital box? What I want to do is use the tuner
input always tuned to channel 3 from the cable box and use the serial
cable to change the cablebox.

The reason is that my computer is a large distance from the cable
inlet and I don't have a long enough svideo cable (and I'm sure the
loss on the RF cable would be less than on a composite or svideo cable
just due to the coaxial nature (and the composite ports on my cable
box are very poor quality - VERY staticy).

Suggestions for what I can do?
