HD Setup Help

[philc822]

I am not to swift on HD setups.....but this is my situation. I just moved my 50" samsung plasma onto another wall in my living room. I had to bring another cable line to this location, and rather than bringing a new line from the HD dish on the roof, I added a fifty foot coax to the existing line in the living room. Will this compromise my picture quality? What is my best setup options under the following circumstances:
TV(SAMSUNG HPP5031): accepts DVI cable, composite video input, speakers have
been removed
SAT(DIRECTV H20): HDMI output, composite video output, optical cable output
SURROUND SOUND SYSTE(SONY DAV-FR1): will be used for sound always, optical cable input, composite video input

Any guidance would be appreciated

There shouldnt be any appreciable signal loss as long as you are using RG-6 or RG-6Q.

Your best setup would be to get a HDMI to DVI cable or HDMI cable with a DVI to HDMI adapter and run that directly to the tv and then run the optical digital for your audio from the sat box to your reciever.
