I've done what chris is talking about... But, what I did was, I had some RCA patch cables from VCRs and such. I just cut them in half, spliced them into a 8-conductor CAT5 cable(the kind you would run for a network), and that worked great! It wasn't shielded, but it's twisted pair so it cuts down on the crosstalk between signals... It's probably not quite as good of quality, but for most TVs you won't notice any difference... Or you could use RG6 or equiv. for the video, and the CAT 5 or even regular phone wire for the audio. (Unless it's digital audio...)

He's only running it about 20 Ft. so unless he's a videophile, I don't think he needs real "nice" cable. I think he's trying to use what he has on hand, without having to buy anything extra...
