10-15 feet or so... I do have an HDMI switch box thingy like mentioned above. The primary use of the outdoor TV will be for sports (I'd like to keep the feed going in both the living room and the outdoor TV). I'd like to not have to sacrifice the indoor feed for the other. That wouldn't work with the HDMI switch box though would it?

ETA:I want to keep both feeds going at the same time because what usually happens is we'll have several guests over, and some will be inside while others are outside. I'm usually in and out with grilling stuff, and I don't want to miss anything and don't want to force guests inside or out.

Then what you want is an HDMI splitter instead of a switch.

If you can easily access your DTV satellite, there may be an open port on the splitter they use that you can just plug in your cable and run it directly to the outside box.
