If you need a really long cable, you might consider WiFi instead.
Something like a DLink DAP 1160 will convert "wired" to "wireless" and I
happily stream HD iPlayer over exactly that from my Dlink WiFi router/ADSL
modem which is some inconvenient distance form the TV.

Does the lower speed of WiFi compared with ethernet become relevant
when dealing with TV (video) data?

Not really. The Ethernet in a smart TV is mostly for streaming content
from the web which, for most people, will be limited by their
broadband connection.
