There would also be data loss as a result of electrical interference. The ethernet cable you know today (Category 5, or Cat5 for short) is just like coax in that it's a copper medium, but is in a twisted-pair configuration. This allows the transmission of large amounts of data without the same length limitations as coax. However, it's not not quite as effective as coax at transmitting large amounts of signal which is typically required for your home theater. Cat5 (ethernet) is made up of 8 wires in 4 twisted pairs. This is what allows large amounts of data transfer with minimal interference. However, I'm not even sure how you would use a coax cable end to match up with each of the 4 twisted pairs. But, if by some chance you did, the television signal would be very low quality, if visible at all. So, my suggestion... go buy a ridiculously inexpensive coax cable. They usually cost somewhere between $1 and $5.

I'd suggest a good electrician to install the wires in the wall. You need power to the back of the tv and you'll want an hdmi cable from the box to the tv (you can put the box just about anywhere but a small stand to the right or left of the fireplace would be my choice). It should be noted that mounting a tv over a working fireplace isn't a great idea. Heat and soot will surely shorten the life of the tv. A lot of people still do it and you'll hear how their tv has been fine for 3 years but after a while, it will get to the electronics in the tv. You will need to get it installed.
