What cable to get to extend tv from dstv decoder

[iWish]

What is the best option to move my tv 20 meters from my decoder? I assume some cable but what do you call it and can you buy it in meters?
Basically I just want to move my tv outside next weekend to watch the rugby.

Permanently or temporarily? What decoder?

Temporary
Dstv explora

Ok. There are two options. Either get a long hdmi cable if you want hd. Or use the rf out which requires coax cables.

I have heard of people using ethernet cables to create HDMI extension cables, but don't have the details.

Ok. Is there another option if I take my decoder+tv outside and get a long "white" cable (lnb cable I think) that connects to the splitter boxie thing that comes with the decoder? I'll be about 8 meters from my satellite dish outside.

Yes, that will work.

You may need a few cables depending on your setup (dual LNB, etc).

Yes, but doubt that he wants to spend that much.

Thanks. I'll check out these options. Don't want to spend a fortune cause it's a once of thing.
