Audio/Video cable (t.v.) - not computer question, but you're helpful here. [View all]

I don't know the name of the cable/function. It's got 3 plug-ins on each end: Red, white, yellow, the first two being Audio, the other Video.

The problem is the LENGTH needed, about 20 feet. Am waiting for the big box place to open, suspecting they won't have the length, but if I can get *anything* out of them or from helpful DUers here it might be the NAME of the cable so that I can dig online to order that way. I'm sure the big box store won't have that length of cable anyway.

What this is about is the t.v. satellite bozos pretended to be doing me a favor by "giving" me a new receiver, but there's that box there in the bedroom with the t.v., which is only used late night, while the main t.v. for daytime is in a room about 20 feet away as the cable stretches via windows on outside walls. This second t.v. needs to be connected to the receiver.

The satellite people said they cannot/won't take back the new box, or probably that they will charge for some other box arrangement for multiple t.v.(s).

So, what is the name of this cable to Search online for? Thanks in advance for anything. If it's something ridiculously obvious as "audio video cable" - so be it. I'll be trying that Search for starters in the meantime and feel more stupid after the answers.
