I'm going to be running either an HDMI cable or component cable (preferably component) from the HD DVR in my basement to a secondary LCD HDTV on the main floor. The cable is going to be approx 50 ft. Will I run into any issues regarding poor video quality w/ lengths at 50 ft? I'd prefer to run component as I'd like to keep the HDMI ouput connected to my projector in the basement, but if it will yeild less degredation in video quality I could run HDMI upstairs instead.

If I end up running component this (http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10235&cs_id=1023501&p_id=2776&seq=1&format=2&style=) is the cable I plan on using

RG6 is the weapon of choice. It's generally good for out to 300 feet.

I use belden 1694a for my component cables, runs great @75' I hear its good well beyond 200', but 75' is all I required.
