[KAT5] putting composite video over co-axial cable?

Hi Folks.
This question is partially kat5 related. :)
I've been trying to get my sky digital s-video or composite signal from the
STB
downstairs to the TV upstairs.
I've been using KAT5 and running a CAT5 cable down the edge of the stairs
for a
while, but want a slightly safer solution :)
I notice I have a co-axial cable running from the downstairs lounge to the
loft.
And another co-axial cable from one of the upstairs bedrooms into the loft.
So, I thought about somehow sending composite video up that cable, instead
of
UHF, and then running CAT5+KAT5 from that room to the destination room with
the
TV.
So, I've got a few questions that (after you've finished laughing), you
might
wish to have a stab at :)
Firstly, does it make any sense to run composite video over co-ax? If so,
are
there any gotachas? What about connectors - what should I be looking for?
Or
should I just stick to boring old RF?
Secondly, could KAT5, with suitable tweaking, use co-ax instead of CAT5?
Thirdly... without destroying my house, is there a better way of
accomplishing
what I'm trying to do? :)
Thanks!
