I have been hired to clean up an a/v situation in a rest/bar. It has 9 hd sat. receivers in a media room, and I want to run hd to several hdtvs about 50-60ft away of of an UHF adapter. There are 3 adapters w/3 freq each. The previous installer used cat 5 as component. what other options do I have without spending $200-$300 for each run? I would rather not use RG 6 five times.

I'm sorry, but your question is very confusing. The description of the existing setup and the types of wiring used don't make a lot of sense...unless....the cat5 wiring is going through a balun on each end to convert the "component" 75ohm R-G-B cables to cat5 for the long run and then back to 3 short RG6 component cables at the TV. The comment about UHF does not jive with satellite distribution systems from the sat. boxes.
